Synopsis
Director Michael Curtiz (CASABLANCA, CAPTAIN BLOOD, MILDRED PIERCE) changes directions with this holiday classic. Two talented song-and-dance men team up after the war to become one of the hottest acts in show business. The film includes a veritable treasury of Irving Berlin classics: "Sisters," "Blue Skies," and of course "White Christmas." Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are a joy to watch. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep".)
Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby prove that a little song and dance can get the gals, make an ex-soldier feel worthwhile and guarantee snow..." (Empire)
"Instead of bombs falling from the studio sky, there is a gentle dusting of artificial snow, uniting a generation under a blanket of forgiveness, forgetfulness and peace. Years after the armistice, the war, for these men, is finally over." (New York Times)
