Out Of The Blue is a one note joke stretch of a comedy. Ann Dvorak got a lot of
mileage out of stretching the fact she drinks like a fish and has an uncanny knack
for passing out at the wrong time and place.
Which in this case is the terrace of George Brent and Carole Landis's apartment in Greenwich Village. Brent is cast against type as a henpecked fussbudget and at Landis's strong urging they dump the body on the terrace of another apartment, that of Bohemian artist Turhan Bey. That starts a round of complication as a pair of old maid neighbors Elizabeth Patterson and Julia Dean.spot her unconscious dead drunk body and think it's the real deal.
If you remember in Rear Window, the housebound James Stewart took up voyeurism was looking at all his neighbors apartments until he spotted something he thought odd. It's the same premise for Out Of The Blue only Patterson and Dean do it full time.
As for Bey's situation his main model Virginia Mayo would like to get a permanent commitment from him.
The film is amusing in spots, but Dvorak gets so downright annoying I might have just killed her for real. Hopefully there's AA in this woman's future.
