A delightful Forties Movie Full of Music, 27 January 2006
8/10
Author: JFlynt9481 from United States

This is a thoroughly enjoyable drama chock full of great music and poignant characters and scenes. I only wish I could find it on DVD!

My elderly mother really loved the music from the forties' era. Lots of recognizable character actors and beautiful scenery of Canada and India.

Written during a difficult and trying financial and political time, Bye Bye Blues seems to make the very best of a hard situation with hope and diligence.

It was wonderful to see the progress of the musical talents of Daisy as her abilities improved with practice. Lots of original music to enjoy.
