This is my all time, favourite, Christmas movie. Not to be confused with HOLIDAY INN (which is also a favourite) just because it has Bing Crosby and the music of Irving Berlin (and a revamp of the set of the Inn), it has a different story line and a different dynamic. HOLIDAY INN was a song (Berlin/Crosby) and dance (Astaire) production, WHITE CHRISTMAS is both of those items (sub in Vera-Ellen and some outstanding male dance partners) but also has the pure tones of Rosemary Clooney, the comedic genius of Danny Kaye and Mary Wickes, stunning ensemble choreography, a beautiful love story (or 2), a heartwarming premise and the advent of VistaVision, which was an innovation in colour and clarity in film (a fledgling technology that was a precursor for today's HD quality). I whole-heartedly give this film a 10 (perfection) out of 10. [Romantic Musical Comedy]
