Watch: Blue Sky 1994 123movies, Full Movie Online – It’s the early 1960s. Nuclear engineer Hank Marshall is a major in the US Army, he who works on top secret nuclear testing projects. Trouble follows him from posting to posting largely because of his mentally unstable wife, Carly Marshall, who is bipolar. During her manic phases, her already overt sexuality, which she models after such sex symbols as Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot, is ratcheted up a notch, that partying behavior which is mixed with less frequent phases of physically destructive behavior. Regardless, Hank and Carly love each other, Hank who would admit to himself that he enjoys the fact that other men find Carly attractive, which is partly why he allows her to act the way she does in public. In turn, they mutually love their now two teenaged daughters, Alex and Becky. Reassigned from their two year posting in Hawaii largely due to the ruckus Carly has caused there, they are next sent to Alabama, the base under the command of Vince Johnson, his wife, Vera Johnson, who heads the wives’ welcoming committee. At an age of starting to test her own sexuality, Alex starts to date the Johnsons’ son, Glenn. Due to no fault of his own, Hank faces some problems in the latest project on which he is working, code named Blue Sky. And Carly continues her regular behavior, which catches Vince’s overtly wandering eye. These items in combination lead to the potential of the Marshalls’ home life being pulled apart and Hank’s career destroyed, both irreparably..
Plot: Hank Marshall is a tough, square-jawed, straitlaced Army engineer and nuclear science expert, assigned to help conduct weapons-testing in 1950’s 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.

Never take a pretty woman…
There is an old Calypso ditty that states “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never take a pretty woman to be your wife.” If you want to have a career in the Army, you might also want to avoid bi-polar women.Tommy Lee Jones (The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada) was an Army Major, a nuclear engineer working on atomic tests, that had a gorgeous wife who was a little crazy. Jessica Lange (Broken Flowers) was awesome as his wife and won every award that year for her performance. She deserved every win in a movie that was a testament to love. No matter how crazy, Major Marshall (Jones) was there for her because of his love. And her love brought her out of her disorder long enough to save him.
This was director Tony Richardson’s last film and he made it a winner all the way.
Story Is Not Much, But Lange Is A Hoot
This film had some really interesting scenes that made me watch the movie twice but that was enough. The story overall is a bit too messy.Jessica Lange was a hoot as the manic-depressive flirtatious wife of Army Major “Hank Marshall.” Boy, poor Hank had his hands full with “Carly” as his wife. Lange plays the role a little over-the-top but that’s what makes her interesting here. It turns out to be a military soap opera film, if there is such a thing.
The soap angle came in not just between the Major trying to control his out-of- control wife, but the couple’s poor daughters who had to live with this under their roof. Amy Klempp and Amy Locane played the sympathetic daughters.
There’s more to the story, such as incidental things like nuclear bomb testing but, believe-it-or-not, that takes a back seat to Jones and Lange’s marital woes. Frankly. when I write this, over 10 years after seeing the film, I wonder why I bothered watching this twice. I was a big fan of Jones, and maybe that was it, plus Lange looked good back then playing the blonde bombshell. This is one of the last films in which she looked this good as her “Tootsie” days were starting to wan.
