Jessica Lange deserves three cheers for her performance in Blue Sky as an army wife in the early 1960s. Sensuous and unpredictable, Lange bridles at the restrictions in her life and is constantly seeking attention. Tommy Lee Jones is the nuclear engineer who adores her, but is just as passionate toward his career. Lange and Jones sizzle in spite of a weak plot tangent concerning the military cover-up of nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. The love story is everything as it bursts with undercurrents of passion, regret, sorrow and joy. Lange's sexy, high-strung performance... earned her an Oscar. It was director Tony Richardson's last film. --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com [show more]

Tony Richardson's final film gained Jessica Lange the Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of Carly Marshall, the unbalanced and unfaithful wife of army scientist Hank (Tommy Lee Jones). Her unruly antics get the both of them in trouble and result finally, after a stint of topless sunbathing, in them being thrown off their current army base in Hawaii and relocated to Alabama. But when Hank resolves to expose a nuclear test accident in which two civilians were irradiated, it seems that the family's troubles are only just beginning.
