Out of the Blue is a 1947 American screwball comedy independent film[2] based on the short story by Vera Caspary, whose work was adapted for Laura and adapted A Letter to Three Wives, also co-wrote this screenplay. It stars George Brent, Virginia Mayo, Turhan Bey, Ann Dvorak and Carole Landis. It was directed by Leigh Jason…

“Brent, who seldom gets a chance to show how accomplished he really is in light comedy easily holds up his end, but it is Miss Dvorak who wows as the screwball interior decorator. Dvorak reveals an entirely new side to a public that, if it hasn’t exactly forgotten her, never remembers her in this sort of thing. Had the others fitted as neatly into their roles, outcome might have been quite different, but it is very hard to accept Bey without a turban, while Virginia Mayo registers only when she simulates a tough babe.”^[7] – Variety (magazine)

“the direction isn’t swiftly paced enough for effective farce, and some of the actors obviously aren’t comfortable in the genre…one must be in an open or forgiving mood to get the most out of this uneven comic effort”^[8] – Matt Hough, Home Theater Forum, November 2019

“a curious film, not quite making the grade as a screwball item yet catching a good if spotty reaction through the incongruity of George Brent, Ann Dvorak, and Turhan Bey working as comedians”^[7] – Laurence Dabin, Toronto Film Society, November 2020
