Holiday Inn (1942) Movie Summary

  • FULL HD

This perennial, Christmas-season favorite teams screen legends Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire as entertainers (and rival suitors of Marjorie Reynolds) running an inn that is only open on holidays. It's a true showcase for lots of singing and dancing, seamlessly wrapped in a catchy story. The Irving Berlin numbers (each one connected to a different holiday) are winners, while Crosby's warm performance of "White Christmas" becomes a movie touchstone (and winner of the Oscar for Best Song)! DISCLAIMER: This program includes racial and cultural depictions that are outdated and offensive. Although these depictions do not represent the values of NBCUniversal, they have not been removed in the interest of presenting the original content and preserving history. This program is reflective of the time when it was made and serves as a reminder of the racism and prejudice that was once considered acceptable.

Holiday Inn Film Synopsis

Lovely Linda Mason has crooner Jim Hardy head over heels, but suave stepper Ted Hanover wants her for his new dance partner after fickle Lila Dixon gives him the brush. Jim's supper club, Holiday Inn, is the setting for the chase by Hanover and his manager.

Great filmThere is much to love about this movie! Ignore one scene and enjoy the rest!.Score: 5/5

Timeless ClassicAlways watched this movie proceeding White Christmas on Christmas Eve. As a film with high regard of the American history and social time frame, beware of the Black face scene and educate young ones of cultural impacts but I would also say that there is no need to remove the scene as erasing issues and not learning from the past is never a good idea..Score: 5/5

Historically Important MovieThe Ambraham scene is one of the most racist scenes I have seen in a movie celebrated as a time honored film, however I think it's worth keeping it in place and recognizing that it is offensive to many people. The movie was made in a time that this was acceptable - but just barely. As we, as a society, have evolved - blackface and the sterotypes in this film that protray black people as lower or less than whites is even less acceptable. To delete the scene and pretend it never happend would be the easy way out. It is the way this film gets broadcast on commercial funded channels - no advertiser in their right mind would want to be around that scene. However, it allowed me to have a very honest discussion with my children about this scene and many other things in the world that were once ok but now are not. It's not an easy scene for me to watch, it goes against my upbringing and I'm whiter than wonder bread. On the whole, the movie was above average but nothing earth shattering. Without it we wouldn't have White Christmas - which in my opinion is a much better film..Score: 4/5

Buyer BewareThis movie has a pre-movie warning that states some scenes of the movie may be considered racist today, but the scenes have not been removed to keep the movie intact. The scenes, that some may find offensive, are where the lead characters dress up in black face..Score: 1/5

WARNING- Racist SceneThis movie has not been altered from it's original form that contains a racist scene of actors in black face..Score: 1/5

Twenty-one year old Ben is on a journey - to follow his TV-obsessed dad and explore how television consumption has evolved from one generation to the next. As Ben enters his final year of university (studying Media Production), he decides to find out if his love of TV will ever be as deep rooted as his dad’s. While TV of Marshall’s era brought together an entire household, Ben is from a time where he can watch what we wants, when we wants and where we wants. With camera in hand, Ben follows his father from coast to coast as they meet some of TV’s most influential figures, trying to make sense of the rapidly changing world of TV . . . and each other. Where we once had appointment viewing, we now have total independence. At one time, television had the power to bring together an entire nation. Today, it can barely bring together a household. Has the individualization of how we watch television fragmented us as a culture? This is a film about the small screen - made for the big screen.
