Movie Reviews of White Christmas
Movie Review: Just like the ones I used to know...
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, actually, it is not like the ones I used to know, because I wasn't alive when "White Christmas" was made. But that doesn't stop the waves of nostalgia from coming over me every year when I watch this film.Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney are each perfect in their roles, and make a nice balance of comedy, dancing, crooning and romance. The storyline is a bit sweet, but no more so that egg nog, cookies, candy canes and everything else that makes Christmas great. I want to sit next to that big open-hearth fire and pour a buttermilk for my lady.
The all-Irving Berlin soundtrack is great. My favorite number, aside from White Christmas of course, is Choreography. But they are all winners.
The DVD has a few nice extra features. Rosemary Clooney gives a fond look back. This is a DVD that is worth the money, as it gets at least a few plays every year.
Movie Review: Our favorite holiday movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe there are people who don't like this movie! So what if it was basically conceived to sell the song White Christmas, this movie has everything...Great songs - not just 'White Christmas', but 'Count your blessings', 'Snow', and 'The best things happen while your dancing' to name a few.
Fantastic dancing - Vera Ellen...need I say more? Beautiful and extremely talented...her partner in the 'shows sequences' is phenomenal as well, and Danny Kaye isn't exactly a slouch.
A fun, campy 1950's story - more engaging than that 'other' famous Christmas movie with Jimmy Stewart.
Clean humor - I'm not opposed to a little sex and violence now and then, but it is refreshing to see that it isn't a requirement in a movie.
This movie, and the original 'Grinch that stole Christmas' are the only ones we watch EVERY Christmas in our house!
Movie Review: It's not Christmas without this film....
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I finally got tired of trying to find this film on some time when I can watch it! I grew up loving sweet Danny Kaye, and this film was my favorite as a young girl. It was made two years prior to my birth (aging myself aren't I?), but though the plot is corny, I still get a thrill when all the men stand for 'their general'. Bing Cosby and Rosemary Clooney were two of the most gorgeous voices for this type of stuff, and though I am deaf now, my memory fills in the gaps. So I am buying this beautiful movie, and introducing it to a newer generation who will love the ballerinas at the end, and maybe they will get as much joy from this movie as I have all my life. You don't often see movies made anymore with such sweetness, laughter, and music that can be a part of our holidays...there are no more Danny Kayes...Karen Sadler
Movie Review: Classic Christmas Fare
Summary: 5 Stars
Bing Crosby teams with song and dance man Danny Kaye in a fun Christmas treasure.
Many people call this a remake of Holiday Inn. It definitely is not. The only thing in common is the song White Christmas and it principally takes place in an inn.
When song and dance team meet a hot sister act (Vera Ellen and Rosemary Clooney) sparks fly. They all wind up in a Vermont Inn, which happens to be owned by the guys old commander. The story is thin but there is plenty of heart and soul.
Bing and Rosemary are great crooners and handle the songs perfectly. Danny and Vera are great dancers and they have some great numbers. All songs are by Irving Berlin.
Enjoyable for the entire family or a date film. In the end, you'll watch it every December!
Movie Review: I'm dreaming of people lightening up!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would classify this movie as a great christmas classic. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye sound great and look awesome as the sing and Dance their way through this nostalgic family holiay favorite. true, this movie is predictable, but what movie from that time period isn't? This movie is a feel-good movie that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy, and all-around Christmasy. I can't believe how many people have written cynical remarks regarding this film, all I can say to all of them is this- LIGHTEN UP! I read one review from someone who said they hated this movie because Bing Crosby was a child abuser. This is not true. He was a strict father, but no abuser of children, and even if he were, this is no reason not to watch a movie featuring him.
