It may be too sweet for some, but this unabashedly sentimental holiday favorite is too cheerful to resist.

It will be a poor showman who can't get an audience into the theatre when he can base his sales talks upon such expertly assembled and tangible box office ingredients. Go to Full Review
TIME Staff TIME Magazine 10/03/2018
A big fat yam of a picture richly candied with VistaVision (Paramount's answer to CinemaScope), Technicolor, tunes by Irving Berlin, massive production numbers, and big stars. Unfortunately, the yam is still a yam. Go to Full Review

They’re all awfully cute and it’s written in such a way that nobody has to try very hard. A charming picture. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Zestfully performed, but the gags could stand being a bit funnier and the musical numbers a bit snappier. Go to Full Review
Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 11/05/2019
Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby at their best are funny enough together to deserve a sequel, although not all the production numbers in this big Irving Berlin musical are successful. Go to Full Review

Barbara Aug 8 Brings back so many memories, which made me happy!! See more Douglas G Jul 18 It’s a classic for a goddamn reason See more Kevin Jun 10 I have watched this every year since I was a child! See more Michael S Jan 18 This film is just Christmas magic. It’s a bit slow in parts during the dance numbers where you can tell they’re showing off the “Vista Vision” and do nothing to push the story forward, but Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby’s chemistry is 10/10 and the story makes your eyes sweaty by the end. It’s a fantastic feel good Xmas story! See more Mary Jan 18 Loved seeing this classic movie again. See more Huladays Dec 27 I watch this movie every Christmas, but its never been offered on the big screen before. Loved it. See more Read all reviews
