White Christmas

DECEMBER 4 & 7

Bing Crosby’s recording of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas was already the #1 record of all time when this film was made.  Crosby and Danny Kaye star as World War II vets and Broadway performers who stage a show at a Vermont inn run by their former commanding general (Dean Jagger). Edith Head designed the colorful costumes worn by Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen as the Haynes Sisters.  (“Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister…”)

1954

Two talented song-and-dance men (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) team up after the war to become one of the hottest acts in show business. One winter, they join forces with a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) and trek to Vermont for a white Christmas.
