Review of Holiday Inn

Holiday Inn (1942)
Astaire and Crosby at their best
5 December 2005
I caught this one on cable last night and although I've always been a fan of both Astaire and Crosby, i watched and listened a bit closer this time. As usual, the plot was Hollywood thin but the songs are fantastic. Bing was at his ba-boo-boo best and Fred, especially in the number "You're Easy to Dance With" is mesmerizing. You also get a chance to see that Ginger Rogers isn't the only girl who can keep up with Fred. The dance he does when he is drunk is classic too. He really was the best. Bing sings White Christmas as only he can and sends goose bumps down your spine. All in all, this is one you can close your eyes and just listen to. Just great.
