Eye C It’s nice, although Fred Astaire is the “bad” guy. Another soft comedy without much problems. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Jim P Another feel-good movie to watch over the festive period. It may be old but it's still entertaining. And great songs🎵 including the debut of "White Xmas". Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Jay W Yes, despite traditional naming conventions, the Crosby song "White Christmas" is not from the film that shares its name, it comes from this film here, "Holiday Inn". And No, the 1954 movie, "White Christmas" is not a spinoff or sequel to this movie, it just features a lot of the same cast. "Holiday Inn" plays to the strengths of its starring cast. As they show off right away, Bing Crosby can sing, and Fred Astaire can dance. The story is a thinly veiled excuse to get these actors to do what they do best. The characters do have a clear motivation and personality, but the conflict feels very forced. If the characters were to sit down and have a 5-minute conversation this would all be taken care of. In a way, this film is similar to "Meet me in St. Louis", both have an all-time Christmas classic song, but both focus on various other holidays through the year. Although, strange that Holiday Inn completely avoids "Halloween". They have both George Washington and Abe Lincoln's birthday, but not Halloween? Also, Bing Crosby is kind of a jerk in this film. Then when he is called out for it, he throws himself a 5-month long pity party, sulking about how he feels wronged. But I digress, the film does exactly what it sets out for, it showcases Crosby's singing and Astaire's dancing. As an added bonus there is a little story to go along with it, the story even has a few good laughs to be found in it as well.

We look forward to quoting the iconic lines, laughing at the comedic moments and witty dialogue, and, of course, the incredible songs and dances.
