WHITE CHRISTMAS was full of sings, Bings, dance, military, and a classic case of misunderstanding

WheezyNews Podcast

We're watching 25 of the best Christmas movies that we haven't seen, according to the internet and this time it's White Christmas. Much more of an ode to the military than we realized. And we liked it.

WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954) synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:

Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys' commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put Waverly and his business in the black!
