Musical Matinee: White Christmas

With its timeless Irving Berlin musical numbers—including its iconic title track—White Christmas is a holiday classic for a reason. In scenes shimmering with superstar performances, we watch as Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye join forces, dancingly and romantically, with sister-act Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen to save a struggling Vermont ski-resort owned by Dean Jagger’s retired Major General. Directed by Hollywood vet Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood), White Christmas is chock-full of memorable moments and infectious tunes, wrapping the holiday season into one perfect Hollywood package that’s sure to put anyone in the Christmas spirit.
