Summary

Happy Holidays and welcome to the first of two very special Holiday movies on The Cine-Files. First up it's the 1942 classic Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. This is a truly delightful movie with wonderful songs from Iriving Berlin, incredible dancing from Fred Astaire and the introduction of one of the most iconic songs of all time, White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby.

Warning: It also contains a truly problematic black face sequence which comes close to ruining an otherwise wonderful film.

 If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.

Hello and welcome to a very special live preview. We're doing these much more for our first of two holiday movies right here on the cinnophiles.

0:07.6

Yeah, very excited to be diving into this movie. First time for me watching Holiday Inn, but Steve, you've seen it many, many times and we just finished our episode on it.

0:18.0

And it was a very fun discussion exploring everything that was involved with this movie and talking about our different

0:24.0

points of views on these characters that Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby play here in

0:28.2

the movie. You think that was the funniest part of the whole conversation

0:31.6

was our different interpretations on what was really going on inside these characters.

0:36.7

So I look forward to that.

0:37.8

And I also feel that we have to say that there is, for those of you not familiar with Holiday Inn,

0:42.4

is that it has a truly upsetting,

0:44.8

upsetting for both of us black face sequence

0:46.9

right in the middle of what I consider to be a delightful film.

But I want you people to know that ahead of time so you don't get caught off guard by what is really a rough

about it and we hope we did it justice in our feelings and points of views on that

1:13.4

particular sequence and but we're always open to be educated or hear more from you

1:18.0

all as you look at this sequence and how we talked about it but But aside from that sequence, Steve, there are a lot of fantastic sequences as well

1:26.0

that we really enjoy in terms of the dancing and the singing, the choreography,

1:30.2

and also the rapid-fire dialogue and wit that is fun to see here in this movie.
