Editorial Review:
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.
Description of 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

White Christmas Review 
2009-12-13 - Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye classic Christmas movie, great story line. Danny Kaye plays great role of instigator.
great classic!!
2009-11-24 - this is a great movie for the holidays. the costumes are stunning and the "white Christmas" song just melts the heart every time! it is a movie of a different era. one where scenes take longer to play out, the humor is simpler, and good, old fashion values are not forgotten. in the world we live in, movies are fast-paced and you are likely to miss something if you blink. this movie takes the time to develop characters and stories. it's a great movie for sitting back and relaxing while you enjoy your egg nog with the ones you love. make it a tradition!
Very bad double feature 
2009-05-29 - It is much better to buy "Holiday Inn" in Color."White Christmas" with Rosemary Clooney has no plot and poor singing of almost the same songs as "white Christmas" Also beware of being sent triplicates and duplicates of CDs and DVDs
White Christmas
2009-03-06 - Christmas wouldn't be the same without Bing and the gang. I bought this to round out a gift basket for my hubby. We had a great time in our Christmas movie marathon on Christmas day. Thanks for providing great memories.
