4.0 out of 5 stars Bye Bye Blues, September 21, 2005

By 

Edith Mary "Carol" (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bye Bye Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie on Canadian TV and fell in love with it! I've since seen the movie 8 or 9 times over the years and am always moved. It's a wonderful story with absolutely great music. There is a soundtrack but hard to find. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves the old classic type romances. Even though this is a modern production they don't depend on sex, nudity or filthy language. The producers seem to understand that the audiance might have an imagination and not have to be shown everything in detail.

This review is from: Bye Bye Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A movie about choices and chance, with wonderful music and performances -- and one of the most erotic moments in movies (in which there is not only no nudity, but you can't even see the people). Well worth watching multiple times.

This review is from: Bye Bye Blues [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Based on the real life experiences of her Mother, Anne Wheeler weaves us a heartwarming and bittersweet tale of love and courage and loyalty on the Canadian prairie homefront during WWII.

Rebecca Jenkins shines as Daisy, heading up a solid cast in this little hidden gem of a movie. Why on earth is it not on DVD???

I was lucky to find the (toe tapping, heartlifting) soundtrack on cd at a local thrift store. I continue to scour thrift stores for the videotape, as I cannot afford these INSANEly inflated prices sellers are asking online.

If you stumble across a tape, or happen upon one of the rare tv screenings of this Canadian movie, do yourself a big favour and watch it. Be prepared to ever afterwards sing the songs, especially the catchy original tune "When I Sing" (by Bill Henderson). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'lll sigh... And you'll also wonder why it isn't available on DVD.
