Description

Festive Favourites: Ring in the season with some holiday classics!


“Michael Curtiz's 1954 musical comedy, featuring the music of Irving Berlin, stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye: a couple of guys who first met in the military and are now a hoofin' double act who fall for a sassy couple of sister singers played by Vera-Ellen and Rosemary Clooney (the aunt, of course, of George).

They wind up putting on a big show to help out an ageing Vermont innkeeper, who just happens to be Bing and Danny's much-loved former commanding officer. They sing: "We'll follow the old man wherever he wants to go ..." which I recall rank-and-file Labour members singing loyally to Michael Foot in 1983.

It's a nice, if undemanding, Yuletide treat.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
