This is the ultimate Christmas film with the comedic talents of Danny Kaye and a cute yet funny segment with Bing and Danny dressed as Vera and Rosemary filling in for the girls as they have been delayed on stage. A neat touch wth having part of the film take place in a winter/ski lodge. The boys arrive with the idea of helping their old commander from the army. The dancing sequences are superb and no one had better legs than Vera Allen. Add in the crooner himself and Kaye really shines in this movie. and maybe through this all everyone may find that speacial one and just maybe a few snowflakes to energize the resort and I man what…
