lol I love watching this, Holiday Inn, Bells of St Marys, Christmas Vacation and It's a Wonderful Life around Christmas. I was watching this stuff since I can remember as much as those animated or claymated kids Christmas specials.

This has been my favorite musical number of all time ever since I first saw "White Christmas" as a boy of eleven way back in '54. How could seven people have disliked it?! Who are these people- I want names.

I was truly-delighted and very-amazed while I was watching this spellbinding and passionate production number of Mr Danny Kaye and Ms Vera-Ellen with Mr Irving Berlin's wonderful music and under Mr Bob Fosse's chic choreography.This number was one of the most beautiful and notable scenes in 1954 Paramount Pictures' all-time favorite and highly-successful classic movie White Christmas. It's oldie but still goodie and fun for the entire families to see especially during the holiday season.

My family was far from wealthy (my dad was a Navy officer) but I remember the clothes that my mother and her friends wore in the 1950's as beautifully made. She had half the number of outfits that she'd have today but they were all made from natural fabrics (yards and yards of it) and were finished with a level of detail that you only see in very high end clothes now.

@jackanthony9768 жыл бұрын
If you mean like Vera Ellen, you would need years of ballet training to perform some of those moves as effortlessly as Vera does. If you watch all of Vera Ellen's films you will see that she can perform any kind of dance including ballet on pointe, jazz, rhumba, modern dance, tap. There was no other film dancer who was schooled in all of those categories of dance.

Vera-Ellen was a fabulous dancer, while Rosemary Clooney was a strong singer. They dubbed Vera-Ellen's singing voice but she did all of the boy-girl dancing routines. Rosemary had very little dancing to do, but had some solo songs to showcase her vocal talent.

she's wearing a corset. she is thin but no human body has a waist like that. vivien leigh in ''gone with the wind'' had the same waist size because of a corset, it was very common for actresses at that time.

I love how people keep claiming that Vera was anorexic during the filming, lmfao. One, if she were, she probably wouldn't have been able to do this dance over and over for the movie. Two, it's called a corset, which were quite popular back in the Renaissance/to 1900's. Get your f*cking facts straight.
