WHAT IT'S ABOUT:After a painful bust-up with his girlfriend, song-and-dance man
Jim Hardy (Crosby) decides he's had it with the big city and retires to
a farm in New England, which he converts into an inn, complete with
floor shows, but open only on public holidays. Friend and co-headliner Ted
Hanover (Astaire) wants to make a film about the inn, but things get
complicated when he tangles with Hardy over lovely leading lady Linda
Mason (Reynolds). WHY I LOVE IT:Conceived from an idea by composer Irving Berlin, Mark Sandrich's "Holiday Inn" is a humorous, festive Crosby/Astaire musical that finds both performers in tip-top crooning and toe-tapping form. Famous for introducing "White Christmas," the best-selling single of all time and an instant favorite with troops overseas, "Inn" is consistently tuneful and entertaining, with a sublime Irving Berlin score that covers not just Christmas, but all major holidays. Watch for the July 4th rave-up "Let's Say It With Firecrackers," one of many musical highlights.
