Ian and Pat "The Über Critic" McDonald wake up early to unwrap White Christmas! Continuing their holiday tradition of discussing a movie Ian had never seen before, the guys plow through Michael Curtiz's 1954 classic musical about a reluctant quartet of song-and-dance performers who rally to save a struggling Vermont inn. Those are the broad strokes of a nuanced (and very funny) plot that ties love, war, and showbiz in a velvety, toe-tapping bow.Ian and Pat pay respects to the physical and comedic brilliance of stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen; remark on the surprising connection to the John Wayne/John Ford "Cavalry Trilogy"; and tiptoe through some of the film's less-than-2020-friendly aspects.Show Links:Watch the White Christmas trailer.Keep up with Pat at HollywoodChicago.com.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
