Blue Skies
It's the nearest thing to Heaven!
A breezy, music-filled romantic comedy about a love triangle among performers, told with warmth and theatrical charm across a span of years.
Jed Potter looks back on a love triangle conducted over the course of years and between musical numbers. Dancer Jed loves showgirl Mary, who loves compulsive nightclub-opener Johnny, who can't stay committed to anything in life for very long.
