After “Double Wedding” (1937), I’ve somehow stumbled into seeing four Bing Crosby films this month. That about doubles my total all-time number. And I’ll probably need to take a Bing break… unless Criterion Channel wants to put the pristine version of “Anything Goes” (1936) that they had last year back online!

Re-watched “Blue Skies” (1946) for first time in ages—and on blu-ray now! It’s never been one of my favorite Astaire films since it is weighted too heavily on the Bing side. Also, this is not Irving Berlin’s best collection of songs. Nonetheless it’s still quite entertaining.

The commentary on the disc can be skipped. After 30m or so, it wasn’t very informative on back stories. In what little it does have, there are several embarrassing mistakes

I didn’t know this—there was a ban on erecting new radio towers during that was lifted in 1946. Then there was a flood of new towers and many new radio stations appeared, greatly expanding the exposure and celebrity of and big band orchestras. It certainly made and national stars.
