	WinDeals :: Holiday Inn
		Holiday Inn is indeed one of those films that highlights the season and the seasons after.
		Yes, the film appears somewhat outdated and politically incorrect (the scene with Crosby and one of his female cohorts singing and dancing with fl painted faces) and campy at times, but at the time, it was all fun.
		At the time the film was made, there was a need to provide moviegoers the opportunity to forget their worries and come to 'Holiday Inn.' So, I recommend this classic musical for its simplicity and musical numbers.

		Holiday Inn is a wonderful old movie about a man who owns an inn that is only open on holidays.
		The film is mixed with a lot of the usual 'double-crossing' scenes, with some amazing songs by Irving Berlin, mostly sung by Bing, including 'White Christmas', 'Easter Parade' and a number of others, and not forgetting the wonderful dancing by Fred Astaire.

	Holiday Inn (1942)
		It is hard after all this time to realise that the producers of the film had no idea that the song would go on to become the biggest selling record of the 20th century (50 million sales and counting).
		Artefacts show up during the whole film, yet they are generally so small that you will be left with the impression of having watched a film in excellent condition for its age.
		As I mentioned film artefacts are frequent (see 9:58 and 56:07 for a few examples) but seem to have had the worst removed judging by the age of the film.

	Holiday Inn
		He has a brainstorm to retire to a farm up in Connecticut and open an Inn that will only be open on holidays (that's why it's called Holiday Inn and yes that's where the hotel chain got its name).
		So Bing is up at the Holiday Inn and somehow this new girl shows up and they like each other and she can sing and dance and soon she's his partner in the little holiday shows that they put on at the Inn.
		The problem with Holiday Inn is that it seems to meander in the middle and the structure is disjointed because it is shackled to its "each song for each holiday" format.

		The idea behind Paramount's "Holiday Inn" couldn't be simpler nor more "old Hollywood" -- the musical tale of a simple crooner (Bing Crosby) who spars with his flashy dancing rival (Fred Astaire) at a holiday-themed nightclub in the sticks.
		In fact, I'd argue that "Holiday Inn" is more Fred's show than Bing's -- spinning graceful floor routines and a classic firecracker tap for the Fourth of July that doubles as obvious patriotic wartime fare.
		Call it old-fashioned or old Hollywood fluff, "Holiday Inn" is a sweet, pleasant slice of another time in pop entertainment.

	Holiday Inn
		That this is a quintessentially wholesome picture that pre-dates any form of cynicism is obvious from the first five seconds, as three young boys ring in Christmas Eve with bells in a classic snow-drenched street scene.
		As for the music, well it's one classic song-and-dance romp after another, and the movie's double act Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby manage to croon and cobble their way through two separate love triangles, before the whole show comes to an improbable, if rather predictable, happy ending.
		Films of this era are unlikely to hold much sway with the modern movie fan, delightfully quaint and unintentionally hilarious as they are, though in the niche grannies-with-DVD-players market, it's this Christmas's sure-fire hit.

		Oddly enough, the heyday was in the 1930s through the 1950s — few holiday standards have been written since, although many songwriters have tried to put their stamp on the season.
		Sung by Judy Garland in the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis, the song was taken to heart, again, because of its resonance among families split up by war.
		It's on the melancholy side, but its message that the holidays are a safe harbor in a stormy world continues to keep it among the most recorded holiday songs.

	BBC - Films - review - Holiday Inn
		Hardy's supper club "Holiday Inn" sets the scene for the love triangle that unfolds and allows for a few songs-and-dance routines at the same time.
		Irving Berlin's songs are always a joy to listen to, and while none of the stars sparkle as they could do there is gentle warmth to it and an element of romance, which brings out the Christmas spirit.
		Primarily though, any film which features "White Christmas" is going to hit a high note at that point, even if it is just being crooned by Crosby.

		As entertaining as this film is, it's most notable for introducing the classic holiday song "White Christmas" to the ears of millions.
		They worked together on TOP HAT, FOLLOW THE FLEET and several other Astaire/Rogers flicks, so you can expect HOLIDAY INN to have the same ingenious mix of memorable songs, imaginative dancing and sophisticated comedy that made their earlier efforts worth watching over and over again.
		Casting Astaire in the "bad guy" role helps this film standout from the pack and gives him a chance to stretch his acting chops, even though the character isn't far off from every other schemer he played during this time.

		For those who really thought Annie had a point when she sang, "There's no business like show business", these special DVD extras, lasting almost 50 minutes, will definitely be of interest.
		Ava, Astaire's daughter, reminisces with Ken Barnes, a film producer, historian, colleague and obvious life-long fan of Crosby and Astaire.
		Although the format is clumsy and strained - Barnes pretends he is having an intimate chat with Ava about her father, although it is obviously an entirely scripted interview, with nothing too personal actually given away - the conversation remains fascinating.

		More popular success followed in 1941 with the introduction of the biggest hit of Papa Bing's career, "White Christmas." Written by Irving Berlin for 1942's Holiday Inn (a film that featured a Berlin song for each major holiday of the year), the single was debuted on Bing's radio show on Christmas Day, 1941.
		It was a favorite for soldiers on the various USO tours Crosby attended during the war years, as was another holiday song, "I'll Be Home for Christmas." Crosby's popular success continued after the end of the war, and he remained the top box-office draw until 1948 (his fifth consecutive year at number one).
		His recording and film schedule began to slow in the 1960s, though he recorded several LPs for United Artists during the mid-'70s (one with Fred Astaire) and returned to active performance during 1976-1977.
