1954 - Musicals were big, VistaVision was new (enabling wide screen movies), and "White Christmas" debuted.

From left to right: Bing Crosby (Bob), Danny Kaye (Phil), and Rosemary Clooney (Betty). Vera-Ellen who is not shown played Judy. One of my favorite Christmas movies. This was during the Minstral Number where they sang Mandy. Another one was Choreography. There were the songs Snow, Counting My Blessings, What Do You Do With A General, Sisters, You Didn't Do Right By Me, The Best Things (Happen While Your Dancing), Gee, Wish I Was Back In The Army, We'll Follow The Ole' Man, and, of course, White Christmas. A lot of dancing and singing. The picture of Benny Haynes shown in the movie was actually Carl Switzer the original Alfalfa from The Little Rascals. Crosby and Kaye actually had fun performing Sisters and the laughing you hear during the performance was not acting. The movie brought in $12 million.

We saw White Christmas at our local movie theatre last week. What a treat to see it on the big screen. Did you see George Chakiris in a number of the dance sequences? And..Vera didn't sing any of the songs.

Vera singing voice dubbed by Trudy Stevens, except for Sisters in which Rosemary Clooney sings both parts 😉

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
