Most helpful review White Christmas

  • Director Michael ...

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from MANCHESTER , 16 Aug 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Director Michael Curtiz (CASABLANCA, CAPTAIN BLOOD, MILDRED PIERCE) changes directions with this holiday classic. Two talented song-and-dance men team up after the war to become one of the hottest acts in show business. The film includes a veritable treasury of Irving Berlin classics: "Sisters," "Blue Skies," and of course "White Christmas." Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are a joy to watch. a classic for all to see..

  • Aged classic

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Chrisaljack (321 reviews) from Hellingly , 22 Feb 2012
    White Christmas is an absolute classic. However: even a near 70 year old cannot help comparing the way this film was made 50 years ago and how it would have been made today. Everything looks so dated: the pristine costumes and make up regardless of the circumstances, the horribly 'cardboard' sets, the dreadfully 'ham' performances... in fact, the only thing that has stood the test of time is the quality of the VistaVision original from which the blue-ray disc was made (VistaVision being the High Definition of the cinema in its day). Unfortunately, while the sound is remarkably clear stereo sound had not made it to the cinema and there is not much you can do with a mono original.

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Gammy (2 reviews) from York , 09 Jan 2010
    Danny Kaye is wonderful - the dance with Vera Ellen is one of my favourites. It's just a lovely Christmassy film with lots of great songs and dance routines. I think it's pointless comparing it to Holiday Inn - White Christmas stands on its own as one of the greatest Christmas films of all time.

  • White Christmas

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Miriam from Ealing, London , 02 Jan 2009
    I loved this classic musical film with its many songs from Irving Berlin.

    Vera Ellen's dancing was a joy to watch,

    as was Rosemary Clooney's interview at the end of the film.
