Brief synopsis of White Christmas

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.

Rating of 4 stars out of 5 Radio Times

This partial remake of the 1942 film Holiday Inn — the Bing Crosby movie that gave the world the Irving Berlin song White Christmas — provided Paramount with an opportunity to introduce its new screen process Vistavision. Crosby's Holiday Inn partner Fred Astaire wasn't available, and Donald O'Connor pulled out, so Danny Kaye reluctantly agreed to second billing to co-star with Crosby, in what proved to be a fortuitous move.

If you like old musicals, then this is a great film! Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby are excellent as always, and the music is just SOOOO good.

Truly a classic. Its maybe not for those under 45 (but then again maybe it is). This film really puts you in the Christmas mood. Its great just for that song (White Christmas) alone. Just sit back and enjoy.

This is one of the all time classics - a much loved film as traditional as Christmas itself. Christmas wouldn't be the same without it.
