Bye Bye Blues (1989)
7/10
interesting music performed on-screen as side plot
8 December 2013
haven't seen this for 20 years and couldn't remember the title, but finally found it using the IMDb search gadget. As a side plot or lead-in to the main drama line, the development of the main character as a singer was musically interesting. She starts out sounding amateurish, and there is some detail about the vocal coaching process, which seemed realistic. The look and feel of the settings and characters was very engaging and sort of soothing. Really drew you in. I recall a gradual improvement in vocals until a culmination with the band that was quite good in a big-band era kind of way, although too brief. I believe the song was "Am I Blue" and probably somewhat the origin of the movie title. I hope to be able to view it again if possible.
