Friend Joe got sick crud and gave us tickets to the Alabama theater Christmas film "White Christmas". Second Christmas show in 3 days. Joe,... you owe me.
Had to sit through this 1954 classic movie ... again.
I'm sorry, those '50s movies are just so bad.
The plot line... The former Commanding Officer, General Waverly has a ski lodge business - after the Army- that's going under because there's no snow in Vermont. I'm sorry, but capitalism is a profit AND loss business. Profits aren't guaranteed, especially when you make bad business decisions. ?How did you ever get promoted to Major General? I hope you didn't look out for "the men" the same way with poor planing and no "plan B".
To "save" the Generals ski lodge from bankruptcy... they throw a musical production. What a horrible plot. This could be a horror movie in the '80s; greed might be good but if you have to do it via a Broadway musical production... well.
The Viet Nam guys would have thrown a frag and saved everybody from their misery.
Bing... buddy... you just weren't that good. I came of age in the '50's and '60s and had a lot of respect for Bob Hope doing the USO shows for the Viet Nam guys; that was class. Bing.... other than your name... ? ... where's the talent? 'cause it's not here. We're waiting.
... and the hokey sisters story in the plot... weak. So hokey.
In 1954 this was a hit. God help us.
In all fairness... several years ago watched the Mormon Snagletoothed Choir do their Christmas special and it was equally as bad. NOT one thing from their Mormon religion; ALL borrowed and plagiarized Christmas songs and stories.
You never drink twice from the same stream.
