Ok so it's cutesy and will give you a Christmas overdose - even on Christmas Eve. However, that said, it has some great Berlin songs, impressive choreography and a chance to see Danny Kaye playing a decent role (he should have had more). Worth watching but unsurprisingly owes a lot to Holiday Inn in parts. Enjoy it for what it is.

Though not every song makes me want to sing along there are some great ones in here. Not a fan of the misinformation interfering with love subplot (as it has been overused throghout cinema history) but what can you do.

an overly long and not entertaining enough christmas movie, a couple of the songs are decent, but they're all overused (at least twice). the ziegfeld-esque dance sequences are nothing terrible, but nothing i'd want to pay to see either.

Many swell Irving Berlin songs rendered with zest.

Great chemistry and terrific acting from the main 4 players. The military angle is very appropriate for the first decade in post WWII America - and still rings true today in an economic sense. It's sentimental without being corny. Some of the songs, (memorable as they are), and dance numbers go on a little longer than they need to, but they don't knock the film down enough to keep it from being a classic.

Great, feel good Christmas viewing!

favorite christmas movie 10 out of 10

I'm extremely picky about Christmas specials, and I've never really gotten the appeal of Bing Crosby.

I think that this is a Christmas classic. Bing Crosby croons a mean carol. I just think it's a pretty decent flick.

Passes the time..

Really nice choreography with cathy songs makes this film highly sympathetetic.
