Magic of Youth

Another one of the many "voice-only" Movietone shorts and/or newsreels in which radio actor and sportscaster Paul Douglas toiled for a decade before getting his break-out role in 1949's "A Letter to Three Wives." Douglas did most of these displaying the wryness and humor that personalized most of his acting roles. This also is yet another seemingly never-ending tributes to Florida that appeared to pop up weekly in shorts-produced-in Hollywood and shot-in-Florida for about a decade following WW II. Evidently, the Florida Chamber of Commerce was more willing to spend money on self-promotion than its counterpart in California.

Blue Sky

Hank Marshall is a tough, square-jawed, straitlaced Army engineer and nuclear science expert, assigned to help conduct weapons testing in 1950s America. Hank has become a thorn in the side of the Army, though, for a couple of very different reasons. He is an outspoken opponent of atmospheric testing, though his superiors hold contrary views and want to squelch his concerns...and his reports. The other problem is his wife, Carly. She is voluptuous and volatile, wreaking havoc in his personal life and stirring up intrigue at each new Army base.
