A REALLY GREAT CLASSIC FROM FRED ASTAIRE
PUTTING ON THE RITZ
b/w CRAZY FEET
from the film "BLUE SKIES"
BLUE SKIES (1946) was the second of two musicals Astaire made with Bing Crosby, the first being HOLIDAY INN (1942). This film also featured a thin plot involving competition for the girl (Joan Caulfield, this time) and loads of songs by Irving Berlin. And once again, Bing sang "White Christmas" (and other Berlin standards like "Blue Skies" and "How Deep is the Ocean?"). But the dancing was all Astaire. His "Heat Wave" number with Olga San Juan and his "Puttin' on the Ritz" solo are among the highlights of the film. Disappointed by what he perceived to be the general decline of his career however, after BLUE SKIES, Fred announced his retirement from motion pictures.
