Plot edit

Beatrice, a shy and lonely country girl moves to the city. She falls for Henry, a sailor who shows her "a patch of blue".[3]

Cast edit

Production edit

The title came from the old country saying that when there is enough blue sky to cut out bell bottomed breeches the worst of the storm is over.[4]

It is believed to be the first drama production shot at Garden Island where H.M.A.S. Vendetta, a destroyer, is moored, and also at the Sydney Opera House.[5]

Reception edit

The Age called it "enjoyable".[6] Filmink called it "charming".[7]
