Not a big musical fan, but I found the songs to be catchy and entertaining. Plus, Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" is pretty awesome, can't lie. It's the story of fou... read more

November 9, 2010My favourite Christmas movie! It's got a lot of fun songs, nice comedy, and good actors. And of course, Crosby does the famous title song. A must see.

The whole thing is rather forced and antiseptically cheerful. Full Review

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Director Michael Curtiz has made his picture look good. It is too bad that it doesn't hit the eardrums and the funnybone with equal force. Full Review

David Jenkins, Time Out
Paramount's first film in (lavender-hued) VistaVision was this pornographically soppy but, nonetheless, hearty and humorous 1954 festive romp. Full Review

Wendy Ide, Times [UK]
White Christmas is the cinema equivalent of an inappropriate festive snog under the mistletoe - you know you probably shouldn't enjoy it but you just can't help yourself. Full Review

It's a nice, if undemanding, Yuletide treat. Full Review

Chris Hicks, Total Film
This was the Mamma Mia! of its day, a nostalgic blast of popular Irving Berlin showtunes gift-wrapped in new-fangled VistaVision that danced its way to the top of the 1954 box office. Full Review

Derek Malcolm, This is London
A new score by Irving Berlin also contributed to its marzipan popularity. But it's the title song that really produced lasting gold. That and the fake snow. Full Review
