Celebrate the holiday season with the Harvard Film Archive’s screening of one of the biggest box office hits in 1954, the Technicolor musical spectacle White Christmas. What could top the Oscar-winning Irving Berlin song; an all-star cast of Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen; costumes by Edith Head and direction by Michael Curtiz—famous for Casablanca, Mildred Pierce and Yankee Doodle Dandy? It’s Bob Fosse, the uncredited choreographer of Paramount’s first VistaVision musical, indisputably demonstrating that “The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing.” 

Also screening as part of The World of Bob Fosse series.
