ReplyDeleteMy Bing watching will have to wait for tonight and I haven't decided just what I will slip in the old dvd player. Busy today with the dentist, laundry and voting (O, Canada).
What's your assessment of BLUE SKIES? I haven't seen it in years, but recall expecting something along the lines of HOLIDAY INN, but getting a somewhat serious film.
ReplyDeleteBlue Skies is one of my favorite Bing films - it is somewhat more serious than Holiday Inn, but it was a great movie in my opinion.
