White Christmas: Difference between revisions

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Wallace and Davis.

* [[Hey, Let's Put on a Show]]: Large elaborate dance scenes took up a lot of the movie time.

* [[Hollywood New England]]

* [[I Owe You My Life]]: [[Subverted]]; throughout the film we see Phil constantly reminding Bob of his "war wound", so he'll do what Phil wants -- i.e. form the double act, become producers, go to Vermont, etc. Granted, we wouldn't have a plot otherwise, but on the other hand you can sympathise with Bob when he vents about how manipulative Phil is being.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Holiday Inn]]''. It was originally intended as a vehicle to reunite Crosby and [[Fred Astaire]], but Astaire considered himself retired at the time and the part eventually went to Danny Kaye and the script was dramatically re-written.

* [[Take That]]: ''Choreography'' is one big [[Take That]] against [[Martha Graham]] and the Modern Dance movement.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich]]: Averted by Betty during the first dinner at the Inn -- because Rosemary Clooney was too inexperienced an actress at the time to realize that she shouldn't really eat the food, especially through multiple retakes and alternate angle shots.

* [[Throw It In]]: Bob's speech about the effects of sandwiches on dreams was completely improvised by Crosby.
