Holiday Inn DVD
Light up your Christmas this year with two timeless classics, It’s a Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn, both released on special-edition DVD from Universal Pictures (UK) on 8 and 22 November respectfully.
These festive classics also include re-mastered black and white and colour versions, making your celebrations even more technicolour.
Whether it’s to give as a present or add to your own collection for family viewing, be sure to add these to your Christmas wish list.
Released on DVD on 22 November containing the re-mastered black and white version and for the first time ever, a stunning new colour version.
With music by Irving Berlin, songs by Bing Crosby and dancing by Fred Astaire, HOLIDAY INN is one of the most delightful and memorable musicals of all time.
Crosby plays Jim Hardy, a song and dance man who leaves showbiz to open a Connecticut Inn. Astaire plays Ted Hanover, Hardy’s former partner and rival in love.
And of course there are the girls (Marjorie Reynolds and Virginia Dale), an agent (Walter Abel) and plenty of lavish song and dance routines with spectacular production numbers.
It contains all of your favourite Irving Berlin hit songs, including the first ever film appearance of the Academy Award® winning 'White Christmas'. The song went on to achieve even greater heights when Crosby starred in the film based on the name of the song.
Christmas just wouldn’t be complete without these two heart-warming family classics, so grab yourself a mince pie, cup of mulled wine and sit back and indulge in these festive masterpieces and remember, 'Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings'.
