Plot: Music by Irving Berlin, songs by Bing Crosby and dancing by Fred Astaire all add up to a really delightful musical that also just happened to launch the hit 'White Christmas'.

MCT:July 19, 2008I now am in love. . . with Bing Crosby's voice! I was more transfixed on his singing then the movie. Speaking of which, the film was very fun. It was simple, family like, and just enjoyable! Though the title may be decieving, the main focus is not on the holidays, rather it is on two showmen that always seem to like the same girl. Ted (Astaire), even went as far as taking Jim's (Crosby), fiance right from under his nose! Somewhat depressed Jim quits the show life and enters the simple life. Farming. Turns out it was way too much for him to handle and wasn't what he'd thought it'd be at all. He then decides to turn the farmhouse into an Inn. Holiday Inn to be exact. The purpose was for it to only be open fifteen holidays a year, hence the name, so Jim could live comfortably work-free for the rest 350 days. Meanwhile, a young lady is trying to find her way into show biz when she meets a man that gives her Jim's number and address to the Inn. They fall in love and plan to be married when, of course, Ted show's up drunk, dances a little, and then steals Jim's new girl. But the love triangle is not over yet. Oh no! Jim realizes the mistakes he's been making and goes after his girl! But seriously it is a really great flick and is so watchable.

My favorite Christmas movie. Love to see Astaire dancing, all the snow, hear Bing sing "White Christmas," and see the happy smile of Louise Beavers.
I like Holiday Inn ten times better than the later movie "White Christmas;" -
MCT:December 19, 2007Bing Crosby is tired of doing broadway shows with Fred Astaire so he opens up an Inn thats only runs on holiday's.

I like this movie; we watch it every Christmas, and I enjoy it. It's not, like, my favorite movie of all time, but it's a classic Christmas movie that I like to watch. I can't think of anything else to say about it, so, guess that's it! :D

Felt an air of dejavu with it. The love triangle reminded me so much of what I've had to deal with.

you know all the songs...it's all about a life you never knew...but they want you to BE THERE and you want to be there too...don't you? sing the songs and miss the place you never were at...one of the most in-your-face fantasies hollywood ever did, about that most sacred of holidays: all of them. enjoy

This is a great, classic musical with a wonderful love story and awesome dancing and singing (though I like Gene Kelley better than Fred Astaire)!

Astaire and Crosby. The first movie that White Christmas was sung in, what more can be said? A definite holiday must-see!

This movie is an amazing movie, whether your watching it on a Holiday or just any plain old day. Bing Crosby's amazing voice and Fred Astaire's feet make a great movie.

One of my favorite holiday movies. It marks the debut of "White Christmas" and is filled with awesome Irving Berlin songs. Look for the New Year's Eve scene, as an actually-drunk Fred Astaire dances, well, drunkenly.

The movie that got the world singing "White Christmas" not to mention it includes other holiday favorites such as Easter Parade. Bing Crosby croons like no other and the movie isn't lacking when it comes to Fred Astaires one of a kind toe tappin'. This is one of my favorite movies, one I could (and have) watched again and again.

My favorite movie of all time! My family and I always watch it around Christmas time, and what a family movie it is! No raunchy humor, no killing, no profanity, just sheer talent from everyone involved, catchy music (all of which was written by Irving Berlin), and a heartwarming story. I highly recommend this movie to all who wish to sit down, even when it's not the holidays, and enjoy an evening watching a movie the whole family will enjoy.

The fourth of July firecracker dance is one of the best movie dances ever. I watch this movie for that alone.
-
MCT:March 1, 2007
Fred Astaire's firecracker dance during the 4th of July scene is so original, and the dialogue is great!
-

Even though this movie has a few scenes which are politically incorrect, I still adore it, and always will!

Freakin Bing... always treats the girl like crap, but still somehow gets her in the end. I'd go with Fred myself....
