Description
Two talented son-and-dance men (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) team up after the war to become one of the hottest acts in show business.
Amazon.com
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

 White Christmas Review January 7, 2009
White Christmas is a wonderful movie for the family! It has become a tradition in my family to watch it near or on Christmas Eve. It is a perfectly clean movie, with good laughs and great music. I would recommend this movie to anyone!!
White Christmas Tradition December 31, 2008

 White Christmas December 29, 2008
Always been a favorite ever since I saw it for thw first time back in 1955 in Tokyo, Japan. Happy to have able to get a copy of it. Bing, Danny,Rosemary and Vera made it a super talented pic.
My All Time Favorite Christmas Movie December 28, 2008

I really cannot say enough good things about WHITE CHRISTMAS. A true classic, a film for the ages, a movie for generations to come, timeless, beloved.
Bing Crosby, Danny Kay, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera Allen...that says it all. Four of the greats, all together in this fantastic film. The songs are memorable and you know the lyrics to all of them. I always sing along to the entire film, much to the chagrin of my children. The dancing is top-notch, the acting is impecable, the story is funny, sentimental, and classic.
This has been one of my favorites since I was a child, and in my house, it isn't Christmas until we have watched this movie. Quite simply, IMHO, WHITE CHRISTMAS is the greatest Christmas movie of all time. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Bing & Danny, wish they'd teamed up more often. December 22, 2008
A classic movie with great actors. Dean Jagger played his role as the General / Inn owner / Grandfather so very well. Bing and Danny did the 'sisters' number that must have been so embarrassing (and fun) at the time. Great dance numbers, singing numbers and a wonderful story.
