Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced that the holiday classic White Christmas will be available to own on 4K UHD Blu-Ray for the first time on November 5, 2024, in honor of its 70th anniversary. Directed by Michael Curtiz, the film stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen in a joyous showbiz story filled with song and dance and featuring the timeless music and lyrics of legendary composer and songwriter Irving Berlin whose artistry defined American popular songs for much of the 20th century.
The film premiered on October 14, 1954, and was the first film to be released in Paramount’s innovative widescreen format, VistaVision. Developed in the 1950s, VistaVistion played a pivotal role in shaping the future of cinematic technology and laid the groundwork for IMAX, which also utilizes a horizontal film format.
In anticipation of its 70th anniversary, Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS was lovingly restored from the original VistaVision negative and looks more vibrant than ever for home viewing in 4K Ultra HD. This limited release includes the film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc, a second Blu-ray Disc with the film, including a sing-along option, as well as extensive legacy bonus content, and access to a Digital copy of the film, packaged in a collectible slipcover based on the original theatrical poster. Get details below!
Synopsis: Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star as war veterans who become one of the hottest acts in show business. When they encounter a sister act (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen), they’re off to Vermont for a holiday celebration unlike any other. Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS was directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and features a host of memorable songs including “Snow”, “Sisters”, “The Old Man,” “The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing,” and, of course, the immortal classic “White Christmas.”
