Paramount Home Media Distribution has provided final details for its upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Michael Curtiz's
White Christmas (1954), which is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 5th.
A dazzling and delightful holiday treat, Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen in a joyous showbiz story filled with song and dance and featuring the timeless music and lyrics of legendary composer and songwriter Irving Berlin whose artistry defined American popular songs for much of the 20th century.
Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS premiered on October 14, 1954, and was the first film to be released in Paramount's innovative widescreen format, VistaVision. Developed in the 1950s, VistaVistion played a pivotal role in shaping the future of cinematic technology and laid the groundwork for IMAX, which also utilizes a horizontal film format.
In anticipation of its 70th anniversary, Irving Berlin's WHITE CHRISTMAS was lovingly restored from the original VistaVision negative and looks more vibrant than ever for home viewing on 4K Blu-ray. This limited release includes the film on 4K Blu-ray, a second Blu-ray with the film, including a sing-along option, as well as extensive legacy bonus content, and access to a Digital copy of the film, packaged in a collectible slipcover based on the original theatrical poster.
