WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954)
Facts
About WHITE CHRISTMAS
This semi-remake of Holiday Inn (the first movie in which Irving Berlin's perennial, Oscar-winning holiday anthem was featured) doesn't have much of a story, but what it does have is choice: Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, an all-Irving Berlin song score, classy direction by Hollywood vet Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood), VistaVision (the very first feature ever shot in that widescreen format), and ultrafestive Technicolor! Crosby and Kaye are song-and-dance men who hook up, romantically and professionally, with a "sister" act (Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to put on a Big Show to benefit the struggling ski-resort lodge run by the beloved old retired general (Dean Jagger) of their WWII Army outfit. Crosby is cool, Clooney is warm, Kaye is goofy, and Vera-Ellen is leggy. Songs include: "Sisters" (Crosby and Kaye do their own drag version, too), "Snow," "We'll Follow the Old Man," "Mandy," "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," and more. Christmas would be unthinkable without White Christmas. --Jim Emerson Amazon.com

Who wouldn't love this movie? It is a clasic that one can not watch too many times!! It should be a part of everyones collection.
March 31, 2008After watching a poorly edited broadcast of White Christmas, one that was actually missing "Snow,Snow,Snow", I decided to get my own copy. What a difference! It's something that we watch every Christmas season.
February 8, 2008Ordered this dvd to replace my original copy that was loaned last year and never returned. It was great to end my Christmas Season with this tradional classic movie. Good quality, shipped promptly, good service.
January 27, 2008No Christmas is complete without seeing Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and others perform this Christmas Classic. A great family movie.
