While I agree that WHITE CHRISTMAS on DVD needs a face-lift, it IS an anamorphic transfer, so I WILL give Paramount credit for doing that right. DR Ron Pulliam must be thinking of some other film that is nonanamorphic.
Since they redid FUNNY FACE last year (and I thought it looked beautiful, a huge step up from the previous DVD release), I really had hopes they'd redo WHITE CHRISTMAS this year. Those have to be their two most popular musicals of the 1950s.
