REVIEW: With music by Irving Berlin, songs by Bing Crosby and dancing by Fred Astaire, Holiday Inn is one of the most delightful and memorable musicals of all time, nominated for 3 Academy Awards. Bing Crosby plays Jim Hardy, a song and dance man who leaves showbiz to open a Connecticut Inn. Fred Astaire plays Ted Hanover, Hardy’s former partner and rival in love. And. Of course, there are girls (Marjorie Reynolds, Virginia Dale), an agent (Walter Abel) and plenty of lavish song and dance routines with spectacular production numbers.
