Leave your thoughts about Holiday Inn.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonHoliday Inn, is, of course, filled with the kind of pretty Christmas songs and picture-postcard scenes of snow and horse-drawn sleighs that make for beloved holiday movies. But there's also some darkness lurking here. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashAlthough all the holiday's are covered, this is really a Christmas movie at heart. Overshadowed by its more famous (and overrated) remake, Holiday Inn deserves more credit than it gets. |
| Empire MagazineAngie ErrigoBetween the toe twinkling and ivory tickling it's still a comfortable, cosy way to pass an afternoon. |
| Radio TimesDick FiddyThis classic musical paired Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire for the first time. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire's most enjoyable and most commercially popular musicals, featuring Irving Berlin's iconic, Oscar-winning ballad, White Christmas. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusTrue to type, Crosby plays nice and Astaire shallow The story writes itself, careful never to get in the way of big production numbers for every holiday on the calendar. |
| Film4Fran HortopNot the best film for either of the film's stars, but Astaire proves that he can dance even without Ginger. |
| Common Sense MediaScott G. MignolaClassic musical with some controversial material. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeGreat songs and stars and a pretty good script, too |
| VarietyVariety StaffLoaded with a wealth of songs, it's meaty, not too kaleidoscopic and yet closely knit for a compact 100 minutes of tiptop filmusical entertainment. |
