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

 We'll Follow the Old Man Wherever he wants to go.....Just Great Fun December 19, 2008
What a great movie, fun to watch and at any time of year. Although entitled White Christmas, the story is about so much more. Shortly after WWII two former army buddies are working the night club singing scene when they run into two 'Sisters, Sisters.....' and then life really takes off for them.
This movie takes you to Vermont, just in time for the ski season, before Christmas, and well, Vermont just so happens to be quite hot. Throughout the movie there is just great fun and even better music and even some good dancing. Danny Kaye has some great slap stick comedy, he sings and dances with Vera Allen. Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney link up and sing together. There is romance in the air and still, there is no snow. What to do? They are visiting a ski resort, attempting to make some dough, but no snow, no show, no dough.
Bing Crosby goes out of his way to help and the story becomes so very good after this. Really, an all around story, love, music, dance and mostly loyalty and willingness to stick your neck out for a friend. I am so glad that it was presented every year on TV, so now you can have this classic to call your own to view at any time of the year.
Christmas Tradition December 8, 2008
"Hey Bob the girls are in a jam.!" "What's the beef?"
Oh I love this movie and the great lines all the way through it. It is wonderful. How can we not love Crosby and Kaye singing and dancing. It is just great fun. I think we can say the whole script as a family we've watched it so many times.
Make it a tradition you'll laugh and sigh all the way through.
Old Time Classic November 13, 2008
I have loved this movie ever since I was a young kid. It is a classic. I watch it every Christmas season just to get me in the spirit. We rarely get snow in South Carolina, but it helps to remind me a bygone days. It's just a fun little movie with some classic actors and actresses that are gone to movie heaven...at least, I hope.
