White Christmas - Film

Released in 1954, White Christmas - directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Allen - is a musical of near mythological proportions. The title song by Irving Berlin, originally used in the earlier film 'Holiday Inn', has become as synonymous with Christmas as Santa Claus or evergreen trees.

The plot in itself is pretty thin: two post-war buddies join up to form a singing duo; they fall in love with two singing sisters and then get involved in a plan to help their old army General save his flagging hotel in unseasonallly snow-starved Vermont. When it look like the snows will never come - thereby ruining the General’s business prospects - Bing swings his vocal cords into action hitting the mellow notes of White Christmas and managing to charm not just the General, his belle, a whole platoon of GI veterans, and the audience but the snow out of the sky as well.

White Christmas is a staple part of the Yule-time diet every festive season, and you can buy it on DVD using this link.
