Far from what I expected...
All my life I thought this was a Christmas film, yet today I when I kickstarted the Christmas viewing for this year, I found Christmas barely entered into it. Despite the appearances of DVD covers, the inclusion of the classic Bing hit "White Christmas" and "Happy Holidays", Christmas features in this very little.
Bing and Fred are incredible as always, but it felt like a pick and mix of songs relating to various holidays, including "Easter Parade", "Abraham" (an uncomfortable blackface celebration of the birth of Lincoln), and a song about firecrackers for the 4th of July.
Overall, even at only 100 minutes, the film was too long to maintain my interest, most likely due to the fact I was expecting a far more festive treat.
