Love Actually Part 1
Not only was this our first two part Holiday episode but it was also one of our most unusual as we decided to break apart this ensemble piece into several short films. It was an experiment that ended up highlighting exactly what makes this movie so special. It also made some of the problems even more glaring) Joining us for this exploration is one of our favorite guests, Michael Vogel.

357 Holiday Inn
For the first of two holiday films this year, The Cine-Files goes back to 1942 and one of the classic musicals of the Golden Age. With incredible singing from Bing Crosby, fantastic dancing from Fred Astaire to the classic music of Irving Berlin, Holiday Inn does not disappoint. However, it does contain one scene which almost takes away its status as a great film and that is the truly upsetting Black Face Sequence in the celebration of Lincoln's Birthday. Which you can feel free to skip.

Preview Holiday Inn
Happy Holidays and welcome to the first of two very special Holiday movies on The Cine-Files. First up it's the 1942 classic Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. This is a truly delightful movie with wonderful songs from Iriving Berlin, incredible dancing from Fred Astaire and the introduction of one of the most iconic songs of all time, White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby. Warning: It also contains a truly problematic black face sequence which comes close to ruining an otherwise wonderful film.
