Holiday Inn (DVD, 2006, Special Edition)

I love the movie Holiday Inn. It is somewhat of a companion movie to White Christmas featuring Bing Crosby. The film also features Fred Astaire and is classic Hollywood. The film is Black and White and features one musical number after the next. They premise of the movie is that Bing Crosby is tired of show business and wants to only work a few days a year. He buys a farm and decides to open a place called Holiday Inn, where he puts on musical shows with a small cast on every holiday. The shows include a dinner by the classic black cook and housekeeper who plays a wonderul role in the film as well. I hope you will givie Holiday Inn a look. It's a great film.

This is a movie that the older generation, like myself, will enjoy. We
remember the actors when they were in their younger years, and it takes us
back to our own. It is a classic "oldie" .... no violence...no drunkenness...
...just good music, dancing, and humor. A classic remembrance of yesteryear,
it will be around ...and popular... as long as there are senior citizens who
remember Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. I was glad to see it again...and mom
and I will watch it again each holiday season that we get to enjoy.

We had seen Holiday Inn on VHS and now we learned that this great musical is being released on DVD. H O O R A H! Can't wait for its release! Just in time for the Holidays! This is a great classic that stars Bing Crosby and Fred Astair who fall in love for the same woman. Talk about singing and dancing! This movie is loaded with it! This is the movie that the famous song 'White Christmas' was released! I'm sure this will be a hot item this holiday season! I hope to get this for my sixth ebay anniversay!

Great example of Crosby & Astaire doing what Bing & Fred do best. Mild pro-war patriotism indicative of the times, but not overdone. After Bing sings about freedom, accompanied with films of Roosevelt & MacArthur, Fred comes out and gives one of his finest solo tap numbers, accompanied by exploding cherrybombs and firecrackers that alone is well worth the price of the DVD.
Astaire and Reynolds perform a couples routine to "Be Careful, It's my Heart" that still takes my breath away every time I see it. When Bing isn't crooning those great Irving Berlin tunes, he shows that easygoing, laid back humor that endeared him to his fans of the forties and beyond. He is in his prime in this film. And in between hoofing it in his incomparable style and grace, Astaire becomes the loveable gal snatching nemesis, menacing Crosby at every turn.
If you enjoyed Crosby and Danny Kaye in "White Christmas," you will probably like this one, too. Holiday Inn begins and ends with the Christmas theme, but with plenty of non-Christmas storyline to make one want to play it again and again throughout the year.
The story gets a little sappy toward the end, but the great songs and dance numbers make it worth putting up with a little syrupy sentimentalism.
All-in-all, a loveable, laughable romp through the holidays with plenty of song and dance. If that's your thing, you can't go wrong with this one!

HOLIDAY INN IS A GREAT CHRISTMAS CLASSIC. IT PORTRAYS CHIRSTMAS AT THE INN AND DAYS GONE BY. A CLASSIC FAMILY FILM FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Great movie from the greats. I had wanted a copy for years, but wanted it on DVD for better quality. This one did not let me down.

This was a great transaction. The DVD arrived quickly and appears to be in perfect condition. (I haven't actually watched it yet--been too busy with the holidays.) Thanks!

One of my favorite holiday movies of all time! Great actors, music,dancing, and scenery. I would gladly reccomend this movie to anyone.

I have seen Holiday Inn many times. I love Bing Crosby and all of his musicals.
I wanted friend to have the this movie for her collection.

The only drawback to this movie is that it was produced in black and white.

The bonus meterial is great, featuring clips from other movies that Bing and/or Frank did. Interesting trivia as well.

The movie itself is a romantic semi-comedic drama with some music and dancing as part of the plot. Very good perfomances of Irving Berlin's music.

I bought this tape hoping it would be as good as White Christmas, which also starred Bing Crosby. Unfortunately it paled in comparison. Sadly, this is more farce with several characters routinely cheating on their fiancees. While Bing did get his girl in the end, the other movie was a far better choice for a holiday movie.

This is one of the most beautiful ways to observe the holidays, by viewing Holiday Inn. Now that I have a DVD, I wanted this to be part of my DVD collection.

This movie was bought for my mother.Its a great classic movie.Just sit down on a cold winter night snuggle up with a blanket and bowl of popcorn and get lost in the movies of yesterday.

I bought this because my husband wanted it on DVD for our collection. I had never seen or heard of it. It was fun to watch. I didn't realize it was black and white when I bought it, but in the end I think that added to the charm.

I bought several classic movies for my wife.....she cried as her VHS no longer worked. GREAT DVD's made a movie lover happy!!

Everything was good but shipping could have been a little bit faster for me, but all in all everything was great.

Just as promised. New in package, old in memories. Shipment was prompt and service was great. Would buy from this seller again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

I purchased the Holiday Inn DVD a few weeks back and am thrilled to have it as a part of my CD collection. It has been difficult to locate this particular CD, especailly after the holiday season has passed. The seller provided terrific communication, and the item was delivered in a timely manner. I have made many purchased via ebay over the years, and encountered only one problem. I am and will continue to use ebay for many of the purchases I make. J.M.

The seller provided very fast shipment and the product was in great shape. I would recommend this seller to other ebay buyers.
