favorite movie #98 - holiday edition: white christmas

Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #96 - White Christmas! (1954) - There's so much I love about this film. The banter between Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye (I much prefer them as a duo to Bing and Bob Hope), the bright, splashy Irving Berlin musical numbers (except for the problematic minstrel number, but at least they left out the blackface that was in Holiday Inn), the amazing dance done by Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen, Bing's bluer-than-blue eyes, and his romancing Rosemary Clooney over a liverwurst sandwich. I could go on and on and watch it every year (probably more than once during December).

The best things, happen when you're dancing ...

Sisters, sisters ...

... There were never such devoted sisters ...

Danny cracks up Bing

"Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow!"
