Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank (1957)
*** (out of 4)
Frank Sinatra (who also directed) and Bing Crosby show off their voices in this Christmas special, which clocks in less than forty minutes but if you're a fan of either legend then you'll certainly want to check this out. At the time it originally aired, this was seen by most people in B&W but it was shot in color and this was used by the television company to try and get people to upgrade their television sets to color ones.
As for the film itself, it's certainly not ground-breaking or a masterpiece but if you enjoy the men then you should enjoy their singing here. The highlights include The First Noel, Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, Deck the Halls, White Christmas and of course Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Both men's voices are in fine form and the arrangements on the songs are quite good.
