The Sky’s the Limit: Directed by Edward H. Griffith. With Fred Astaire, Joan Leslie, Robert Benchley, Robert Ryan. Flying Tiger Fred Atwell sneaks away from his famous squadron’s personal appearance tour and goes incognito for several days of leave. He quickly falls for photographer Joan Manion, pursuing her in the guise of a carefree drifter.

“Another of the many World War Two films which was intended to demonstrate that everyone had to answer the call to duty, even the wealthy. This one contains characters who find themselves in glamorous places with clever lines and works of classical art. They are into champagne and penthouses, and mandatory dance scenes on ballroom size terraces. There is, and can be, only one star in this film: Fred Astaire. The finest part is his song and dance routine, u0026quot;One For The Road.u0026quot; This scene is a classic movie moment of which one never tires. When it comes to dancing, the sky is indeed the limit.”
