WHITE CHRISTMAS

The song "White Christmas" was most popularly featured in the movie starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire "White Christmas". This movie is about soldiers in World War 2 who were eager to return home for Christmas....and they were also dreaming of a White Christmas!!! Below is a lilnk where you can hear the song, "White Christmas" as it is performed in the movie, "White Christmas".

Jillian,

Just a few comments on your "White Christmas" page on the CVC site:

Irving Berlin's song, "White Christmas" actually appears first in the 1942 movie, "Holiday Inn." While there is a military thread through this movie, the main "plot" centers on establishment of a vacation inn that is open only on holidays. The song won the Oscar for that category in 1942.

White Christmas is a partial remake of Holiday Inn, but features Danny Kaye and not Fred Astaire with Bing and was made in 1954. The military theme is central to this "plot," as Bing and Danny are trying to boost the fortunes of a resort run by their ex-general (Dean Jagger).

Holiday Inn is a much better movie.

Best regards,
