[colinbillo]

The Master at work , No one else can hold up a candle to this version.

[mtw1701C]

Thank you for including BOTH times the song is sung in the movie!

[Galutron]

Good for you, Jim.

[geniuslevel]

we dream in b&w

some things are perfect in black n white  most arent

[pieper230674]

@geniuslevel mayby you but I dream in color and sound, my most disturbing dream is that I´m lying in bed and don´t realise I´m dreaming, kind of a freddy kreuger nightmare.

[Hendrixking14]

this is why i watch youtube

[gvsher]

Marjorie Reynolds really made this flick work. They screwed up by not filming it in color.

[foxotte]

Made when Men were Gentlemen, & Women were Ladies..!! Its not Christmas wirhout Bing!

[RaiGrabski]

anyone able to find her on cd? i dont want the traditional bing version but her version and i can't find it

[intrinsicallyflawed]

The point is moot! Not mute... But - I like them both ways!

[JACQIE77]

I love old movies and Bing Crosby and ALL Christmas movies but Im stumped.....WHAT MOVIE IS THIS????? I have NEVER seen it before.

[RaiGrabski]

@JACQIE77 its holiday inn

[gratton4]

I have this movie and we love it ...its only October and i'm wishing it was Christmas! Love the clothes they wore.

[gratton4]

How I love these old movies! More should be on TV.

[kckc1975]

Black and white also needs to be restored to the tonality that was intended by the director. I like both. 

[DartsRme312]

no shit...i can watch this 100 times in a row...and it still makes me cry i'm a 41 year old cream puff..but who cares

[costinmodoran]

Merry Christmas from Romania

[miffinosuke]

Merry Christmas from Japan

[churchillstevester1]

The first part of The Wizard of Oz was awesome in sepia tones.

[MrJoelhermansen]

"How can he get that far in five minutes?!" "The lady must have been willing."

[firstcowtails]

colorization is great

[lexiegirl2012]

Bing Crosby was a hunk (:

[mandrewn501]

This makes me very happy.

[vincentsr]

One of the greatest singers of our time.My wife and I call him Mr. Christmas.

[Flapple11]

No one sings this song like Bing Crosby.

[Fiftiesflashback]

GREAT POSTING! I don't have a colorized version. THANKS!

[DartsRme312]

hated fred astaire in this..stealing bing's lady!

[misspaddylee]

@DartsRme312 OMG! Too funny. That's exactly what my daughter thought when I first showed her "Holiday Inn" when she was a kid. She's 20 now and she still harps on "mean old Fred stealing Bing's girl" every year.

[DartsRme312]

@misspaddylee you have done a great job of of rearing your daughter to love a classic...cheerio to you...miss...i love this movie...and i leanred at a young age...they don't make these like they used to...enjoy any time of year! love your daugher always!!

[DartsRme312]

this makes me cry every time....

[ThePattycake1313]

Even I can get farther in 5 minutes. LOL

[jimac51]

Everyone looks like the embalming fluid set in. Also,the white paint on the wood looks dirty.

[Fiftiesflashback]

@jimac51 This clip has the look of the older, softer, two strip color process which was more limited and not as vivid as the Technicolor used for Gone With The Wind and The Wizard of Oz. White Christmas filmed in color is almost garish! Although I am not always a big fan of colorization, the the subtlety is in keeping with this film. One of Edith Head's underlings who actually worked on this film was still living when it was colorized, so the costume spectrum is pretty much was it was in 1942.

[lou1606]

can someone upload the whole movie please?

[asianxshippox]

This is the movie "Holiday Inn". Its sort of her audition I guess. I looove this movie!

[DartsRme312]

@asianxshippox this is my favorite holiday movie...followed by it's a wonderful life!

[RaiGrabski]

usually the colorized films are odd in hue but this version was wonderfully done (have dvd) and soft enough that the colors arn't garsh or out of place.

[VMugs78]

I am 31yrs old and have watched this movie hundreds of times. It is my favorite movie of all time. I love old movies for the actors and stories, not for the color or lack of. But I have ALWAYS wondered what colors Marjorie Reynolds dresses were...I never knew this was available in color. THANK YOU for posting!!! I just bought it on Amazon. Cant wait to get it!!!

[lgcrooks]

@VMugs78

Good for you!

[Christmasfellow2008]

Yes. The color is much better on the DVD than I could get on this you tube clip. Plus you get the b&w version as well, plus a special feature showing how the coloring process is done.

[lancerhammer]

the black and white version is far more nostalgia

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Personally, I'm of the younger generation and I prefer this in black and white. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine if they colorize films.  But if they're gonna do that, they should at least do a thorough job. Last month I saw a colorized version of this movie and I have to say, most of the background was still hues of gray. It struck me as rather creepy.

So, either they should completely color everything in the film or just leave it be.

[prckay]

i love when they colorize older films . just like the did for wizard of oz in the late 40s

[frankbinggene]

The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939.

[jerryaltman]

Wizard of Oz was shot in Technicolor, a color system, and so was never colorizd. The first scenes of the film, in a farm, was intented in black&white, and when she went to the Land of OZ the image became colored. The film was always that way and never colorized.

[Fiftiesflashback]

@jerryaltman I believe the opening B&W footage of The Wizard of Oz that we know was originally shot in Sepia. The transition from Sepia into Technicolor was magnificient. Sepia was used in the film's Kansas opening because Kansas was dull, colorless and gray which was also stated in the original Baum text. The Kansas opening scenes were directed by an uncredited King Vidor when Victor Flemming was summoned to Gone With The Wind.

[markusl99]

@jerryaltman no shit

[jerryaltman]

@markusl99 Film colorization technology, despite technical advances in the last years, can't replicate the true quality of a technicolor film like The Wizard of Oz.

[billthestinker]

thanks, I usually hate the fake colour, but it looks nice in this clip

[baracine]

It actually looks a lot better on the DVD itself. This is very low resolution.

[Christmasfellow2008]

Actually, if you go to my blog Clyde's Movie Palace (google it to find it) I wrote a review of the film. There you can find screen shots that are more representative of what the film really looks like in color.

[cweed53]

wonderful, thanks very much for posting this. I must say I prefer the black and white version, though.

[PCSongman]

One of my favorite films and musical scores. As I watched this clip today it struck me how much Majorie Reynolds and Katherine Heigl look like they could be related.

[truegritwayne]

The color on this really enhances this movie in my opinion.
