Screen legends and Holiday Inn co-stars Bing Crosby (The Emperor Waltz) and Fred Astaire (Daddy Long Legs) reunite for another dazzling Irving Berlin musical spectacular, Blue Skies. Dancing star Jed Potter (Astaire) and singer/nightclub owner Johnny Adams (Crosby) are both in love with songstress Mary O’Hara (Joan Caulfield, Larceny). She marries Johnny but his passion for buying and selling nightclubs drives them apart. So Jed steps in, hoping to win Mary’s heart—until fate steps in and changes the lives of all three. Wonderfully directed by the versatile Stuart Heisler (Among the Living, Beachhead) and featuring thirty Irving Berlin songs including the showstopper “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” Blue Skies remains one of the all-time great musicals!Special Features:-Brand New 2K Master and Newly Remastered Audio -NEW Audio Commentary by Film Critic and Author Simon Abrams -Trailers -Optional English Subtitles

The Saddest Musical I've Ever Seen
Unlike other upbeat musicals BLUE SKIES has a melancholy atmosphere. But so does the title song. I love to hear Bing sing and watch Astaire dance, but the character motivation and forced resolution of the thin plot made me wince. That said, I will watch it again for a couple of finer moments. Astaire's "Puttin' on the Ritz" is enjoyable and the comedic routines of Billy de Wolfe are notable. Joan Caulfield, who fell in love with Crosby during this movie, seems forlorn, like a woman who will be left behind....and she is in real life. I will watch BLUE SKIES again. But it is the saddest musical I've ever seen.

Excellent Vintage Movie
Any movie with Astaire and Crosby is worth a look. And this one certainly meets their entertainment standards. A good buy.

Irving Berlin's songs, served up deliciously
Take Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire at their glorious best. Add a touch of the beautiful Joan Caulfield and the rhythmic dancing and singing of Olga San Juan, and you will savor the wide range of Irving Berlin's music. The quality of the DVD is surprisingly high -- brilliant color and sharp images -- for a film from 1946. Not an MGM production, but in my opinion this is entertainment of the highest value. Highly recommended.

Faulty soundtrack
Please note that this review is not about the movie itself,but only concerns that Amazon,as of Feb. 2023,are still selling the blu-ray with the faulty soundtrack.

Not one of Fred's favorites
I realize it was the script but did not like Bing's character as much as Fred's. I understand that Fred did not like this movie as much because Bing got the girl instead of him.

El baile de Fred Puttin on the Ritz
Lo único que me ha gustado es el baile de Fred de Puttin on the Ritz. La pelicula es para lucimiento de Bing Crosby.

comedia musical
Un titulo poco conocido en la carrera de Fred Astaire con buenos números musicales y canciones subtituladas. Aunque no la había visto nunca esta película no defraudará a los amantes del musical.
