357 Holiday Inn
For the first of two holiday films this year, The Cine-Files goes back to 1942 and one of the classic musicals of the Golden Age. With incredible singing from Bing Crosby, fantastic dancing from Fred Astaire to the classic music of Irving Berlin, Holiday Inn does not disappoint.
However, it does contain one scene which almost takes away its status as a great film and that is the truly upsetting Black Face Sequence in the celebration of Lincoln's Birthday. Which you can feel free to skip.
