White Christmas

Family, Musical | 1954 | G. 2hr
CAST: Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, Rosemary Clooney DIRECTOR: Michael Curtiz ENDS DECEMBER 21

Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys' commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put Waverly and his business in the black!

Reviews

Kaye is superb, especially in his knockout dance routine with Vera-Ellen, and the direction from veteran Michael Curtiz rightly embraces the sentiment rather than keeping it at bay.

Musical-comedy classic reprises Irving Berlin hit.
