By james art Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced that the holiday classic White Christmas will be available to own on 4K UHD Blu-Ray for the first time on November 5, 2024, in celebration of its 70th anniversary. Directed by Michael Curtisthe movie stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen in a joyful show business story filled with song and dance and featuring the timeless music and lyrics of the legendary composer and lyricist Irving Berlin whose artistry defined American popular songs for most of the 20th century.
The film premiered on October 14, 1954, and was the first film released in Paramount’s innovative widescreen format, VistaVision. Developed in the 1950s, VistaVistion played a central role in shaping the future of cinematic technology and laid the foundation for IMAX, which also used a horizontal film format.
In anticipation of its 70th anniversary, Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS has been lovingly restored from the original VistaVision negative and looks more vibrant than ever for home viewing in 4K Ultra HD. This limited edition includes the film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc, a second Blu-ray disc of the film including a sing-along option, as well as rich legacy bonus content and access to a digital copy of the film packaged in a collector’s slipcase based on the original theatrical poster. Get details below!
