This is the Valentines Day clip from the movie Holiday Inn made in the 1940's. It includes romantic crooning by Bing Crosby and suave dance moves by Fred Astaire.
Majorie was DARLING....she played the wife in "The Life of Reilly"...but she was SO adorable in the movie.. AND THIS MOVIE WAS RELEASED IN 1942...when the WAR was going VERY badly...Hollywood was VERY important for morale.....
Such a beautiful song and dance sequence. Bing's beautiful voice and Fred and Marjorie's outstanding dancing make this one of my favorite scenes. I cry every time i watch this scene. That song and the romantic dancing just gets to me. I start missing my late boyfriend. And i miss my mom. This is my second Christmas without my mom. We always watched this movie and all of Bing's movies together. Bing was her fave singer.💗😢
Buddy, if you wrote a song like that for her and then as you croon it to her she takes off with a guy named Fred, she ain't the chick for you. Keep lookin'!
This was the song Irving Berlin thought was going to be the "sure-fire, can't miss" hit of "Holiday Inn". So much so, that it's played earlier in the film before its "introduction", here. But at the time, there was a war on. And a bunch of soldier and sailor boys grew lonely with nostalgia for a.....need I say it?
@@marciajones2361 me too! I had no idea that dress was red...I watch this movie at least every Christmas. Sometimes on 4th of July and/or Thanksgiving. ❤️❤️❤️
My most favorite holiday movie. None any better. Such class.
Bing Crosby is still one of my favorite singers and dancers . Holiday in is Tradition in our family.....
Marjorie is so expressive and stunning. How didn't she do such movies later is beyond me. Gorgeous movie!

Funny when they jump through the paper, I'm thinking "Well that prop is ruined".
I always thought that too. I was like "what, they've got reams of giant paper out there in the barn just for this?" 🙄
they dance pretty good !
