All you could ever want in a Christmas movie.

A full colour glory in VistaVision that'll warm your heart at Christmas or any time of the year. Bing, Danny, Rosie and Vera-Ellen sing and dance their way through a variety of Berlin songs that range from the sublime (White Christmas) to the ridiculous (What Can You Do With a General) with enough verve to win over Scrooge. Don't worry yourself with the plot, just enjoy it!

Five things i love about this movie:

1, Our four heroes in the train buffet 'Snow, Snow, Snow, SNOW!'

2, Mary Pierce as the General's housekeeper...(and head of Busybodies anonymous)

3, Rosie looking edible in 'that dress', singing 'Love, you didn't do right by me' (Look out for George Chakiris, the epitome of cool in a black turtleneck)

4, From the Minstrel Show...'How can you stop an angry dog from biting you on monday?...That joke is old, the answer is....' Well you'll just have to watch it to see!

5, 'Gee! I wish i was back in the army!' A million handsome guys, with longing in their eyes. And all you have to do is pick the age, the weight, the size, oh gee, i wish i was back in the army.

OK....I have to fit one more in......

6, For one night only...Wallace and Davis ARE....The Hanes Sisters!

May your days be merry and bright and may all Christmas films be as good as this.

Sit back, relax and enjoy

The classics of Irving Berlin will make this a movie favorite year after year. I have seen this movie enough to spot some interesting edits (just watch Bing Crosby sitting on the side/end of the hospital cot or Vera-Ellen's cup of coffee in her dressing room) and I still watch it at least 8 times a year. It's enjoyable to let the music take you from the everyday grind with war buddies, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye meeting up with the sister act of Rosemary Clooney and Vera - Ellen. Bing Crosby delivers his opening number / title song White Christmas with the same smoothness we've come to know and love. There's a lot of accomplished dancing on Vera Ellen's part and Danny Kaye does an excellent job as her partner in "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing". Their "choreography" number provides a fun look at changes from traditional dancing to a beatnik approach in staging. "Count Your Blessing's" is a number appropriate for any time of the year. Mary Wickes does a fine job as the "housekeeper / receptionist / how can I help you?" individual putting her nose in the wrong place at exactly the right time and setting up the romantic conflict. Rosemary Clooney delivers only a hint of the musical talent she has continued to bestow on us. It would have been nice to hear Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen do something besides "Sisters" - it seems that is the only song this duet ever performed. It should be so easy to succeed in show business. While White Christmas may not be a Christmas standard on the level of Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life, the music alone can bring a bit of Christmas spirit even in July!
