The Sky's the Limit (I) (1943)

Disappointing Fred Astaire musical
10 August 2007
Fred Astaire is a great dancer and any movie with his dancing has worthwhile moments. However this movie is so corny that it makes the usual Fred and Ginger movies appear to be cinema verite'! For no discernible reason, Fred, who is really an heroic fighter pilot, poses as a jobless ne'er-do-well to Joan. This is the stupid premise of the plot.

Fred does one great solo dance, sings one song which is probably the best one he's ever done (One for My Baby), and has one good dance with Joan; she CAN dance. She sings one song (My Shining Hour) unimpressively.
