WW
II vets Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye form a song and dance team. Ten
years later, convinced that success has turned his partner into a
workaholic, Kaye finangles an introduction to singing sisters Rosemary
Clooney and Vera-Ellen. When the girls travel to a Vermont lodge to
perform a Christmas show, the boys follow, only to discover that their
former C.O. is the owner of the picture postcard-perfect property which,
due to a dearth of snow and guests, is foundering. A series of romantic
mix-ups follows as the performers try to help the General. Of course
all ends well with everybody singing the title song.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
brims with great stars and songs and dance routines, not to mention
old-fashioned holiday spirit. For me, it’s an annual reunion with screen
friends long gone, and a reminder of the unabashedly sentimental and
romantic Hollywood musicals from my youth.
