Reviews for White Christmas
With a cast like this, the ensuing light-hearted mayhem and Irving Berlin's title song, there is not much cause to complain if you're looking for nothing more than mild diversion.

Although it’s really only peripherally about the Christmas season, White Christmas is still a holiday classic. And deservedly so.

This was the Mamma Mia! of its day, a nostalgic blast of popular Irving Berlin showtunes gift-wrapped in new-fangled VistaVision that danced its way to the top of the 1954 box office.

Paramount’s first film in (lavender-hued) VistaVision was this pornographically soppy but, nonetheless, hearty and humorous 1954 festive romp.

A new score by Irving Berlin also contributed to its marzipan popularity. But it’s the title song that really produced lasting gold. That and the fake snow.

It's a genuine classic.

This slightly racy studio musical from 1954 isn't the holiday classic you might think

White Christmas isn't as delightful as its supposed predecessor, but if for no other reason, it's worth seeing for a gorgeously simple arrangement of the title tune, which Crosby croons accompanied only by a windup music box.

To be honest, it couldn't go wrong.

Love, music, and gorgeous Technicolor mesh nicely. It snows on cue every time you see it.
