Movie Reviews of White Christmas
Movie Review: The best things...
Summary: 5 Stars
"White Christmas" is one of those movies that I've seen multiple times each Christmas season. The DVD version of the movie is excellent -- especially the commentary track with Rosemary Clooney. Her enjoyable anecdotes about the making of this classic are priceless. I particularly love the story about when the King and Queen of Greece show up during filming. She also sings along with the show. It's like watching it with the dear woman in your living room. This is equally special since she is no longer with us.
The movie itself is great and I love it because of the feelings it brings. The story is kind of silly and trite and the songs don't advance the storyline. Hey, when you've got great dancers and singers like Clooney, Crosby, and Kay -- who needs storyline advancement. Plus, Irving Berlin's songs are top notch!
The movie is beatufiul and beautifully filmed. If you've never seen this movie, but you're a fan of movie musicals, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, or just love Christmas -- check this movie out! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

White Christmas is my all time FAVORITE movie. I've loved it since the first time my parents made my sister and I watch it twelve years ago (I was 9). I've watched it so many times that I can not only say/sing the entire film, but I think I could probably act out the entire thing, too. I feel that it is a movie that can be enjoyed year round, not just at Christmas. In fact, I don't really even consider it a Christmas film. I mean it only really has 1 Christmas song in it, and most of the movie doesn't take place at Christmas.
The cast does a wonderful job with the acting, singing, and dancing. They are all amazing, especially Vera Ellen in the dancing numbers...I didn't realize someone could move their foot that fast until I watched the coreography number.
My favorite two songs in the film are "Sisters" and "The Best Things...", but all the songs are fabulous.
If you like musicals, buy this film. You won't be disappointed.
Movie Review: "White Christmas" STILL enchants!
Summary: 5 Stars
"White Christmas" on DVD is the highlight of the season!So lovely to have this holiday classic on DVD with a winning documentary by the beloved Miss Clooney; hearing of her experiences with her costars and a cherished friendship with Mr Crosby... The "Technical" people who reviewed this seemed to enjoy picking it apart, but its content still shines thru! Bing singing WHITE CHRISTMAS in ANY forum is a JOY!His duets with Rosie are as smooth as honey and her presence there must've been the Sweetest gift to the general public in 1954! Though the film was originally scheduled to reunite Bing with Fred Astaire, Danny Kaye delights as his partner....
It is the first Christmas without Rosemary Clooney, indeed none of the principals are with us, yet thru this superb effort of Director Michael Curtiz, we are reminded that the joy of their personages STILL live, and make us smile inside! WHITE CHRISTMAS is a MAGIC!48 years..and COUNTING!
Movie Review: Hey, gang, let's put on a show!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yesterday flipping around the channels I hit upon White Christmas, that old chestnut (1954) starring Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Dean Jagger, and dancer Vera-Ellen. I first saw this movie as a child, long, long ago, and have never forgotten that final scene with the entire cast in red and white, singing the title song with snow floating down all around. Magical. Today, the plot is, well, nothing less than corny, but you've got to hand it to the stars - they were talented, show biz pros. Vera-Ellen's dancing was amazing, and the sound track contains such classics as "Count Your Blessings", "Sisters". Watch it for some old fashioned sentimentality, nostalgia, and post WWII can-do Americanism. It's a lot of fun, even the preposterous parts (breaking into song at the railway station, for instance, or expecting the General to have been intimately acquainted with Privates Kaye and Crosby.) And oh, that Vistavision!!!
