Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star as army vets-cum-nightclub impresarios who fall for a beguiling sister act in the form of Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. Smitten with the sisters, they follow them from Miami, Florida, to Pine Tree, Vermont, where they are booked to appear in a Christmas show. This Technicolor musical, the biggest box office hit of 1954 and the first film shot in VistaVision, includes Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" — already an Oscar®-winning song, from HOLIDAY INN 12 years earlier — plus Oscar® nominee "Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)," "Sisters" and "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing." DIR Michael Curtiz; SCR Norman Krasna, Norman Panama, Melvin Frank; PROD Robert Emmett Dolan. U.S., 1954, color, 120 min. NOT RATED
