WHY BING CROSBY'S "WHITE CHRISTMAS" STILL WARMS OUR HEARTS

The America of 1942 was vastly different from the America we know today, but its longings remain the same.

Amid mounting threats from both the European and Pacific theaters of war and in the wake of a devastating economic depression, Irving Berlin’s enchanting new musical film Holiday Inn premiered at the tail end of 1942. Its tone was overwhelmingly optimistic and portrayed an idealistic society, true to Hollywood’s style of many movies during and after the Depression. The women wore elegant ball gowns, manners were highly refined, and each night was spent rubbing elbows with world-class dancers at five-star clubs. These movies were purposefully aspirational, offering an escape from the harsh realities of war.  MORE AT Why Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas' Still Warms Our Hearts
