Holiday Inn (1942)

Needless to say, Holiday Inn is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I like it for a lot of reasons... one of which is because it stars Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. The movie is unique because it goes through the story of a love triangle throughout every holiday. And for every holiday, you get a neat song and dance number. Occasionally Fred Astaire will sing and Bing Crosby will attempt to dance. It's great. Depending on which version you watch of it... you may get the chance to see a very controversial scene. The scene includes a dance number with Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and Marjorie Reynolds put on "black faces"... a common form of entertainment back then. Now, the scene is considered racist, then it was funny. It's an odd scene to watch now. Anyway, if you ever see it on tv or happen to get the chance to watch it... you should! As an added bonus... Holiday Inn is the movie where Bing first sings White Christmas. He sings it with Marjorie Reynolds and it's beautiful duet. I love this movie so much!
