365+ Movies in 365 days: Day 239 - White Christmas




You have not seen White Christmas until you have seen the new restored version on Blu-ray. the colors are dazzling to the eyes. I was unaware of how washed out the prints I had been viewing over the years until the "Choreography" number came on and I realized the costumes were shades of purple, rather than the blue-gray I always thought they were. 

The Irving Berlin tunes hold up well in this boat load of Christmas schmaltz from 1954.
At The Movie House rating ***1/2 stars
