13. White Christmas

Sun Dec 18, 2016, 11:47 AM

Dec 2016

Our local theater had it--along with some other classic holiday films--earlier in the month. Went with a girlfriend. I'd never seen it on
the big screen and it was marvelous. The timing and repartee between Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye was wonderful. Fun dance numbers.
Schmaltzy boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back again plot. And some great costumes by Edith Head.
