Wiki.
Out of the Blue is a 1931 British musical film directed by Gene Gerrard and starring Gerrard, Jessie Matthews and Kay Hammond. It was produced by British International Pictures at the company's Elstree Studios near London. The film's sets were designed by the art director David Rawnsley.
It was Matthews' first major film role. A baronet's daughter falls in love with a radio star who is engaged to marry her sister. The film was not a success, but led to Matthews being cast in There Goes the Bride and given a contract by Gainsborough Pictures. Matthews later wrote in her autobiography, "Out of the Blue was adapted from a stage musical and never should have left the boards." John Orton served as a supervising director.
