HOLIDAY - HOLIDAY INN(1942)
One of my favorite holiday movies, right up there with White
Christmas!! Great cast, great music and a wonderful setting!! A
From IMDb.com:
This is truly one of the great musicals to ever grace the silver
screen. Between the great song, the dance numbers and the
chemistry between Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, this film
really is one of the the all time classics. What really makes it
great is that it pretty much plays like a great Broadway review
that uses the different holidays as an excuse to display the
individual talents of each of the film's stars. However, the
thing that this film will truly be remembered for is the fact
that it introduced one of the all time classic song's to the
world, "White Christmas".
Another thing that makes this film so beloved is that it came
out during a time when America needed somewhat of a
diversion, World War II. This film helped to give people
something to put smiles on their faces as the whole world
was going to hell. At least for two hours, this film helped
America to forget its troubles and put a smile on everyone's
faces. - Brian Washington
