January 30th, 2008

Blue Sky was directed by Oscar winner Tony Richardson and released in 1994. This was also his latest film before he died on 14 November 1991. Blue Sky got plenty of awards when it came out. Jessica Lange won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, a LAFCA Award for Best Actress, a Sant Jordi for Best Foreign Actress and got nominated for several more. The film was a major hit in USA and filmed in Selma, Alabama, among other places. However, Jessica Lange was not the only hot actor in this master piece. Tommy Lee Jones as Maj. Henry ‘Hank’ Marshall also did a good role in the movie.

The story of the movie is about Henry ‘Hank’ Marshall (Tommy Lee Jones) a tough army engineer and nuclear expert. He is assigned to help conduct weapons-testing in 1950’s America. His wife Carly Marshall is mentally sick and does not like what her husband is doing when the army has to movie the nuclear testing base to Alabama.. This is a very good drama movie with and excellent cast and a good background story.
