White Christmas (DVD) ... 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

 ... fight a lot but at the heart of it they're best friends who really care about one another. The two of them had a great deal of respect for their General during the war, and it's touching to see that although they have fame they decide to use it to help someone less fortunate than themselves. They know that the general wouldn't want charity, so along with the sisters they convince him that they need the lodge to rehearse their acts. Of course amongst it all you've got the romantic element to carry the film along. You...more

Every year when we buy the pre-Christmas TV or Radio Times I scan the pages (passing all the 'not yet scheduled' ones) to look for White Christmas as, although I can never really remember if it is this one or Holiday Inn I like best, I love to watch it. I like Bing Crosby. One of the films is in colour and the other is black and white, I think White Christmas is the black and white one...which adds more appeal to me. Everyone in the world must know that wonderful Christmas song by Bing (written by Irving Berlin) White Christmas. If you like the song you will like the film. There is a good deal of singing and dancing and ...
