Review of White Christmas (1954) by James S — 07 Dec 2008

For a movie with "ChristmaS" in it's name, it's not exactly the main feature here. Instead we have a solid story, funny side characters, and some songs that will stick in your head right around that certain time of the year.

My only real complaint about this movie is that during EVERY dance number Ellen would look at the camera, constantly. As if her eyes could go no where else.

Anyway Crosby and Kaye are the perfect pair and work just as well together as HE does with Bob Hope in the "Road To" movies and it's a shame they didn't make any more movies together. I also enjoyed Clooney's singing and Wickes is hysterical as always. And the touching ending with the General is great and works perfectly.

So it's a movie that's considered a Christmas movie, yet can basically be watched any time of the year.

"That's very funny. Ho, ho, ho. The crooner is becoming the comic.".
