I unbiased finished watching the newly released Special Edition of Holiday Inn. I was AMAZED at the clarity of the relate. I’ve never seen a print of this film looking so pristine. Even on unprejudiced a regular, 20″ non-HDTV plot, the hairs askew on top of Bing’s toupee during the celebrated White Christmas scene are plainly visible. Now if you can gaze single hairs on a person’s head during a medium shot on a exiguous television status, that’s a stunningly distinct characterize!

The audio as well is crisp and obvious with rich bass and treble tones. If you notice the film with the audio commentary on, you’ll hear the dulcet tones of Ken Barnes relating some titillating tidbits about the making of the film, the songs (one particularly curious fraction concerns the verse to White Christmas), the cast, etc. All is enhanced by sound bites from Bing and Fred Astaire themselves in archive audio material from the 1970’s. As an example, Bing speaks of the continuing sales of his recording of White Christmas as tedious as 1974, how he felt it was due in section to people giving the narrate as a Christmas gift.
The accurate gems are the bonus features, particularly the 45 dinky long mini feature A Couple of Song & Dance Men. Ken Barnes is joined by Fred Astaire’s beautiful daughter Ava sharing biographical memories of both Bing and Fred, along with trivia tidbits. Ava shows and reads some of the letters Fred Astaire wrote to his wife while on a USO tour in England with Bing in 1944, and telegrams to Fred from Bing, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin are also shown on hide. All is pieced together nicely with song excerpts from Bing’s films, coming attractions trailers, and newsreel footage, including Bing opening the Stage Door Canteen in 1944.

The other, shorter bonus feature runs 7 minutes and is titled All Singing – All Dancing. Ken shares some rare late the scenes photos and techniques of how musical numbers were filmed, beginning with the early talkies. He shows how the orchestra and singer were together on the position and recorded as one.
The recent theatrical trailer for Holiday Inn is also included.
All is wrapped up nicely with a slip-cover that goes over the DVD case. When compared with the two-on-one DVD of Holiday Inn and Going My Contrivance that’s been out for many years now, the inequity in quality is plainly visible. The Holiday Inn print looks somewhat fuzzy or “muddy” in quality when watched after seeing the brilliance of the newly restored print ragged on this Special Edition.
In short, this is a DVD that’s well worth having. If you want the definitive presentation of this classic Holiday film, this is it! Bravo Ken & co.
I always felt this movie deserved a restoration to sustain its 1942 style B&W richness. Unfortunately this movie has NOT been restored to its novel rich and pristine Dusky & White splendor! It HAS been remastered meaning no cuts or deletions and also includes an approximate 42 exiguous mini biography of both Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby and a short portion about the making of the song and dance numbers of Holiday Inn.
A holiday perennial along with Miracle on 34th St. and It’s A Extraordinary Life, this original release is truly a Special Edition!
