I love this silly holiday movie but I haven't been able to watch it on TCM like I usually do each year. It is about two dancers and one goes out on his own and starts Holiday Inn. The silliness that ensues. It has some sweet scenes and lots of Bing Crosby singing and Fred Astaire dancing. It's been at least three years since I've watched it because TCM took it off their usual list of holiday fare because of the blackface number they do in it. So, here I am in March watching it on the DVD player my grandson got somewhere and just set up for me. Picture is courtesy of popcorntime.online.

I have the feeling that I have seen it, many years ago.

It's nothing special just one I enjoy seeing. I usually watch it on New Year's Eve.

It sounds familiar and perhaps I have seen it in the past. We only stream here, have you tried finding it on youtube at all?

It's a pretty cute old movie. YT has parts of it but not the entire movie.

I have certain ones I like to watch. Since I don't have TCM anymore I am buying just those that are my real favorites to watch when I want to.
