Holiday Inn

Mark Sandrich · 1942 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A singer quits the act to farm in Connecticut, finds the work harder than the stage, and reopens the place as a country club open only on public holidays, with a number written for each one. His old partner keeps turning up to take whichever woman he loves into the routine. Berlin's calendar of songs produced White Christmas, the best-selling single ever recorded; the blackface Lincoln's Birthday number is now generally cut.
