What better way would there be to end our Classic Movie Nights year than with a Technicolor sleigh ride of holiday cheer? Join us for White Christmas—a 1954 spectacle that wraps up the holiday season in a little bit of the ole showbiz razzle-dazzle.
Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are war buddies turned song-and-dance men, teaming up with the talented Haynes sisters (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to save a struggling Vermont inn—and the spirit of the general who once led them through war. What follows is a mix of backstage musical and holiday heart-warmer, decked out in dazzling costumes, toe-tapping numbers, and Irving Berlin’s iconic score (yes, that “White Christmas”).
Directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and drenched in the glow of early VistaVision, this is comfort cinema at its finest—a film that knows exactly when to crack a joke, when to break into song, and when to simply let the snow fall.
Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
