Bye Bye Blues

This was a very engaging flick ... and told a story about people I knew. As a matter of fact, the hero of the piece was my family Doctor when I was a child ... and he was the film-makers' Father. Anne Wheeler was born after he had been returned to Canada, after being imprisoned in a prison camp in Hong Kong. As the Physician in the camp, he kept a great many men alive by forcing them to eat grubs, to enable them to consume even a tiny bit of protein, which was totally absent in their diets

This family, and the elder boys who were born before the war, were very well-known in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I would love to get a copy of this great flick ... either DVD or VHS ..

can anyone help me to find one? Thanks !!!

Spread the word

A touching and absorbing story about coming to grips with reality: sometimes people get to live the way they want; more often they find themselves living the way they must, because their economic and emotional survival depends upon their being able to do so. When priorities change suddenly, radically, and against one's will, the situation becomes especially stressful. There are those who learn to cope, and those who fall by the wayside; either of the foregoing includes every one of us.

You will be deeply involved in this woman's conflicts. You will admire her, and care very much about what happens to her. It's a shame that this beautiful picture is obscure. Everything about it works.

Music to Bye Bye Blues

I, too, would love to see this movie on DVD.

I watched it on CBC more than 10 years ago and had the privilege of seeing George Blondheim & Co. perform the soundtrack to the movie LIVE at Jack Singer concert hall in Calgary. They explained the pieces and how they composed them. Awesome! If only I could get the soundtrack on I-tunes...

My children are studying Jazz and the Blues, I think this soundtrack is a great example of the music from the 40s.

I am not sure who the distributor of the film is, but contacting them would be one way to encourage a re-release on DVD. Perhaps the CBC may be motivated to add it to their DVD library!

Brilliant & outstanding!

This heart-warming & poignant story is beautifully filmed. Outstanding direction & excellent acting. A low-budget, creative endeavor deserves to have had more press as well as critical acclaim. I hope it is shown more frequently or re-relealsed and as previous comment indicated available on DVD.

Excellent music too. A must-see for people who appreciate good films.
