An innocent yule tide talent tale.
25 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Legendary Michael Curtiz directs this showcase of talent in an attempt to capitalize on the song "White Christmas" that first appeared in the 1942 classic HOLIDAY INN. Quite innocent and evocative of the early 50's mindset. One of those let's save the day by putting on a show. A song and dance team will help keep their former commanding officer's(Dean Jagger)Vermont inn alive. A real talented cast that includes Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, John Brascia and Anne Whitefield. How can you have Bing Crosby and not hear his "White Christmas"? Other memorable tunes: "The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing", "Count Your Blessing Instead of Sheep" and "Snow".

Note: Curtiz four years later would direct Jagger in the Elvis Presley classic KING CREOLE.
