Brief Synopsis
A tale told in the 1954 movie starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. A pair of W.W.II veterans put on tap shoes and find success center stage. When they join forces with two singing sisters, Cupid reaches for an arrow. But first they all work to save their former general’s Vermont inn that is in jeopardy. Jingle bells ring out, and you’ll want to sing along.
