Between the toe twinkling and ivory tickling it's still a comfortable, cosy way to pass an afternoon.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2014
Although all the holiday's are covered, this is really a Christmas movie at heart. Overshadowed by its more famous (and overrated) remake, Holiday Inn deserves more credit than it gets.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 4, 2013
This classic musical paired Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire for the first time.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 4, 2013
One of Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire's most enjoyable and most commercially popular musicals, featuring Irving Berlin's iconic, Oscar-winning ballad, White Christmas.
| Original Score: B+ | Jun 4, 2012
Classic musical with some controversial material.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011
Crosby's easy, casual banter is just the right foil for Astaire's precision acrobatics, his wry, offbeat humor.
| Dec 5, 2008
Not the best film for either of the film's stars, but Astaire proves that he can dance even without Ginger.
| Dec 5, 2008
The film's highlight is a bang-up July 4th 'Let's Say It with Firecrackers' that finds Astaire in fine form.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2007
Loaded with a wealth of songs, it's meaty, not too kaleidoscopic and yet closely knit for a compact 100 minutes of tiptop filmusical entertainment.

Holiday Inn offers a reason for celebration not printed in red ink on the calendar.
| Aug 8, 2006
The Irving Berlin score, including 'Easter Parade' and 'Let's Say It with Firecrackers' (which gives Fred his best moment) makes up for the thin story.

Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Want more? Stir in the first singing of Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas' and 'Happy Holidays.'

True to type, Crosby plays nice and Astaire shallow The story writes itself, careful never to get in the way of big production numbers for every holiday on the calendar.
| Original Score: B | Dec 26, 2003
Call it old-fashioned or old Hollywood fluff, Holiday Inn is a sweet, pleasant slice of another time in pop entertainment.
