Notes from the Dec 2017 group



Holiday Inn  (1942 DVD)  With Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire  - Watched on Wed. Dec. 6, 2017 at Geneseo Public Library

In this Irving Berlin musical, Jim (Bing Crosby) and Lila are members of a performing trio who plan to quit and run a country hotel. When Lila says she has fallen in love with the dancer in the act, Ted (Fred Astaire), Jim leaves town with a broken heart. After turning the inn into a holidays-only live entertainment venue, Jim winds up booking -- and falling for -- Linda (Marjorie Reynolds). But when Ted shows up at the place after being dumped by Lila, he too sets his sights on beautiful Linda.

This is a classic musical.  Everyone liked this film - the plot, costumes, songs and dancing. It was fun and enjoyed by the entire group.
