| Synopsis: | White Christmas is the optimistic yarn about decent people who hurdle personal misunderstandings to end up being, well, decent people who are full of good cheer during the holidays in 1954. World War II Army buddies and showmen Bob and Phil meet the sister act of Betty and Judy and end up at a Vermont Inn run by the guys' former commanding officer, Gen. Waverly. The inn has fallen on hard times, and so has the general, despite the presence of his caring ex-actress "concierge," Martha, and a visit by his granddaughter, Susan. The showfolk find a solution to the general's post-war malaise by planning a show at the inn - on Christmas Eve, no less. Cue the snow. | |||||
