Ironically, it was Rosemary Clooney who said Bing made it so easy that “ if you can’t sing with Bing Crosby, you can’t sing.” I got to see her in concert a few years before she died. She was better than ever, and so in touch with the audience. In retrospect it was an honor and a privilege to have been there. Truly one of the greats.

[@stefanie7823]

I have a special place in my heart for White Christmas and Ms. Clooney. Family lore says that after WWII my grandfather was working at a radio station in NYC and met Rosemary. He asked her out to dinner and they apparently had a great time (“but no funny stuff” I’m told lol). He said she was even more beautiful in person and had the best personality. She loved to joke around and had a beautiful laugh. I loved hearing that story as a kid 😊

I still watch this show every year. I love the pretty dresses and the magic of the production musical numbers and cast. We were all left with such a precious gift with this show and these actors who take us step backwards to a moment in time when life was a little more simple. This show was also paid a wonderful tribute to the service boys facing some scary moments of their own mortality durring war time. Those who were greatful to be alive to make it back home to their loved ones for christmas. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this precious gift you brought in to our lives and our homes. It is a timeless classic that has made my home durring the Christmas season feel warm and bright every year. Thank you!

I was 9 years old when this film was released. My mother had made a rule that year; I wasn't allowed to see any movie with a happy ending, which is to say most movies back in those days. I got lucky in the winter of '54 and got to see White Christmas with my mother not finding out. For me, the movie was a forbidden thrill.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global pandemic such as the world has never seen. 1.5 million died from it each year. It is the “most contagious disease in the history of mankind.” It is spread from infected people talking, singing, laughing, sneezing, coughing or spitting. So, why were/are there no TB pandemic response demands from the WHO, CDC, governments, doctors, or the UN to wear masks, washing your hands? Where are the food shortages, toilet paper shortages, disinfectant shortages due to TB? The job losses, the shut downs, the layoffs because of TB pandemic? The quarantines, the social distancing because of TB? TB has ALWAYS made flu-viruses like Covid-19 look like the sniffles. The ‘protective’ measures the CDC and WHO have recommended can’t stop it! In fact, herd mentality history indicates that those ‘preventative measures’ make it much worse. Covid’s real but the toxicity is exaggerated and the mortality rates are inflated for the sake of monetary greed within the medical profession and for the benefit of liberal politicians and their power grab.

Danny Kaye could do it all. With his lanky frame, he could sing, he could act ("Hans Christian Anderson" is just wonderful), and he could dance. Boy could he dance. With Vera-Ellen in "The Best Thing Happen While You Dance" is a phenomenon. They make it look so easy, but one can only imagine take after take after take to get it just right. And they smile, too.

The actors are geniuses. An overly stimulating movie with so much song, dance, and don't forget the story line of the General...that one tear in his eye at the end pretty much sums up life...and it was said in "It's a Wonderful Life" at the end..."No man is a failure who has friends".

[@mollywatson161]

One of my favorite movies. My daughter and I watch this together every Christmas Eve.

[@kimclarke9745]

Love 💗 this picture from the time I was a child, and to this day......

[@kdmdlo]

I think the young Rosemary Clooney is absolutely stunning!

[@dr.spectre9697]

Yeah she was a babe BUT her drinking & prescription drug use really took a toll on her.

[@terry4137]

Her sister was much better looking!

[@zenobardot]

When she smiles, her eyes narrow and get a twinkle the reminds me of her nephew George.

[@pam5389]

Love this movie! Rose Mary and Bing Crosby did a lot of duets together. This movie had a wonderful cast of Stars..

[@jeanshimpeno45]

One of my favorite movies. I watch it every Christmas.

[@RLS-bu4bj]

Have been loving this since college. We watched the cabaret show scenes in my theatre class. Watched the movie and just fell in love

[@bocconom]

My family watches this every year. We love it! It is in my top 5 Christmas movies.

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

What were the others?? I hope "Wonderful Life" was one of them!!! I have copies of both so on July 4th I can watch Christmas!!

[@bocconom]

@@janeiwasduncan8463 Hmmm, there are so many good ones! The 1951 British adaptation of A Christmas Carol with Alistar Sims is another top 5. Honestly there are so many great ones I should have said top 25 with no particular order. :) Then in addition there are those great kids TV specials from the 1960's such as A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Some minor gems that I have come to greatly appreciate are It Happened on Fifth Avenue and Christmas in Connecticut. More modern are Santa Claus 2 and Elf. If you ever get the chance watch Stealing Christmas (2003) with Tony Danza and Lea Thompson. IMO it is Danza's best acting. His character is not very likable especially in the beginning but his transformation is slow but steady without overwhelming the viewer with sappy sweetness if you get what I mean.

@@bocconom , Enjoyed everything you said, but you forgot Miracle on 34th Street, original. With John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, and Natalie Wood. That's my third favorite, 1st being White Christmas: second, It's a Wonderful Life.

[@bocconom]

@@ginaloverofangels I didn't forget. Its just that there are so many!

[@ginaloverofangels]

@@bocconom Gotcha, and I understand. Merry Christmas.

My best friend of 55 years & I have been huge WC fans since we were kids & have memorized virtually the whole dialogue. The past few years, it has played in theaters for a few days in December, we've gone with my daughter & granddaughters. The grands can't quite believe we can recite ALL the lines right along with the stars. I highly recommend watching it on the big screen if you have the chance, especially to see costume details.

[@deepsouth3319]

One of my favorite Christmas movies, I watch it every year.

[@MikeMoe710]

White Christmas, awesome,awesome movie👏👍🏻

[@MorenoDonato]

1954 was probably the happiest year of my life until 1995. How well do I remember this movie. Dream times.

[@strawberryme08]

She’s still beautiful even in her later years. She’s got those gorgeous eyes and great skin!

[@dianemiller3081]

This is one of my favourite movies. I even watch this movie in the summer time.

[@marimullan4012]

Love, love, love this movie! I pray my grandchildren carry on the tradition of watching it every year at Christmas!

[@robertwilkins8357]

This movie was a great blessing to have for the rest of my life.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

At 11:25 the dancer in black at far right is George Chakiris, future Bernardo in film West Side Story.

[@nhmooytis7058]

JudgeJulieLit yes that's right!

[@Makeyourselfbig]

If you notice. He's one of the dancers in Bing and Danny's show but he's also one of Clooney's dancers in the nightclub. Must have gone with her when she left the show.

[@marthatodd1]

Yes! His next film was West Side Story where he won Best Supporting

[@dawngordon6750]

Love White Christmas

[@ackbar1138]

This was great. Who the hell would give this a thumbs down??! Honestly!

[@Kslater23]

Awful people that's for sure

[@hankgolfer1]

My all time favorite Christmas movie. Vera Ellen and her dancing, phenomenal. Great legs a nice plus with her dancing.

[@louisetyson8286]

[@chrisa6455]

I love this movie I still watch it time and time again it's a classic and I specially like Rosemary Clooney

[@louisaleroux3484]

I loved Rosemary Clooney when I was kid. She had a lovely voice & smile...never forget her.

[@rivetingglance]

We watch this every year at Christmas time. Just such a homey feeling to it…love it,

[@owlet0]

One of my all time favorites. Danny Kaye one of my favorite actors.

[@bgdavenport]

I first saw this at the tender age of 10 in 1962 on my Dad-made B&W TV. I'm 68 and it's still my favorite. I drive everyone crazy by singing along!

[@zombiesalive10]

I wasn't born until 2 years after this film was made, but it's my favorite movie. It's sad for me to watch now as the world is not as wonderful as what's depicted in this movie. .
