Blue Skies (1946)

Through a radio broadcast retelling the stories of their relationship, two men try to find the girl they both love.

Johnny Adams (Bing Crosby) is a man who can't seem to stay grounded enough to provide the kind of security his wife Mary (Joan Caulfield) and daughter need. Jed Potter (Fred Astaire) tries to step into Johnny's place, but before anything can be decided Mary disappears.
