White Christmas (1954)

Back then women were women, men were men and everyone was glamorous. White Christmas is a holiday classic in every sense of the word. Starring pop crooner Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as war buddies who fall for a sisters played by Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen. Throw in an aging war hero and their genuine efforts to show they care and you've got yourself a movie!

White Christmas is a simple enough plot, but thanks to gorgeous set dressings and fabulous costumes, the film simply sparkles. Each musical number gives opportunity for our cast to step, tap, and sing their way into our hearts.

Growing up, I could never decided which sister was more beautiful. Judy (Ellen) or Betty (Clooney). Today, my money's on Clooney. Her number, 'Love, You Done Me Wrong' is classic vamp. Danny Kaye as Phil Davis is so fun to watch. His physical comedy and stellar dancing are perfect. Each musical number is a treat.

From Crosby's cardigan-wearing-pipe-smoking Bob Wallace to the odd-ball supporting characters {mutual, I'm sure!}, White Christmas is purely sentimental and delightful this time of year.
