White Christmas (14-Oct-1954)

Director: Michael Curtiz

Writers: Norman Krasna; Norman Panama; Melvin Frank

Lyrics and Music by: Irving Berlin

Producer: Robert Emmett Dolan

Keywords: Musical Comedy, Christmas

A pair of soldiers who sing and dance plus two performing sisters come together at a Vermont inn owned by their former commander, which has fallen on hard times. Sappy and simplistic Christmas fare with good acting but merely adequate dance numbers, yet quite a guilty pleasure: a film that is much greater than the sum of its parts. Stands above most Christmas fare. First film shot in Paramount's wide-screen VistaVision.
