Sara Schwabe: Great big Bing!

Sentimental Christmas saps (like myself) will be glad to know that the uber-classic holiday film, White Christmas, is back on the big screen at the Tennessee Theatre this weekend.


Not to burst your nostalgic bubble, but the concept of White Christmas was actually cooked up as an attempt to capitalize on the extreme popularity of the song of the same name featured in 1942's Holiday Inn. Bing Crosby's velvet pipes were used in both films to sell his eventually signature song to adoring masses -which turned out to be a pretty good idea for everyone!

No matter the reason White Christmas exists, the holidays wouldn't be quite the same without Bing, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney and their VistaVision ski-lodge adventures. It will be especially warm and lovely when enjoyed in the charm of the Tennessee Theatre.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for kids and seniors. Internet sales end today, Dec. 14th at 5pm, and remaining tickets will be sold by phone or at the door one hour prior to showtime. Contact the ticket office at (865)684-1200 for more information.
