This is NOT hosted by Bing Crosby ! ! February 21, 2010
Hephzibah (USA)
"Bing Crosby's White Christmas All Star Show" is the most misleading DVD title I've ever seen.
Yes, Bing does appear briefly to sing "White Christmas"... but he most definitely did NOT host the show, he did NOT introduce performer, and he did NOT organize the production. If you are looking for one of those wonderful Christmas specials that he did, you will be sadly disappointed.
Second, this is NOT the entire production, as is evidenced by the fact that all participants introduced themselves at the very beginning, and there were several who did not appear until the final song (done with the entire cast), where people such as Shirley MacLaine were visible (she was in a dance costume, as was another woman who did not perform, so both must have danced).
HOWEVER. There are some performances that "redeemed" the purchase for me. The superb pianist Van Cliburn, fresh from his history-making victory in the Moscow competition... Walter Pigeon and two others doing a great quick-tongued piece of humor... Danny Kaye singing a duet with Louie Armstrong... Jack Benny, George Burns, and Jimmy Stewart doing a song-and-dance routine (yes, Jimmy Stewart!)... Anna Maria Alberghetti, Lena Horne, Gale Storm were among the varied singers... Milton Berle and Bob Hope did monologues (I'd never enjoyed Milton's performances that I'd seen on TV, but this one was great)...
If the title was "USO All Star Christmas Show" (which was what the show was), and if they had included all the performances, it would probably earn 5 stars.

I bought this to watch old Christmas type shows. Contains many great artist performing together like noone today. Great to watch during the holidays as a treat.The entertainment is very different from what this generation is use to,oh,well great to watch and share.

It is really unfortunate that this Questar Video Collection "A Bing Crosby Christmas" is not out on dvd... I would think that so many folks would love to see this program again... Yes, it is just clips from Bing's various TV specials, but even so, it really is quite delightful to re-live a part of one's childhood from the 1960's and 70's. And oh, the clothing styles back then, LOL! Like a wonderful dream the show is over before you know it, so I'm not sure I'd spend the money that sellers are asking for the used or new copies. Glad I have my old video copy!
It's not BING ! December 15, 2009

While there are some great performances that people, over sixty will enjoy, this is not a Bing Crosby show, He only performs White Christmas, which is one of only two Christmas songs on this video. This is a USO produced show, and nothing to do with Bing's Christmas shows.
Make sure you get the right one... December 13, 2009

I purchased this great dvd a few years back at a reasonable price, the Questar version now out of print, which has a yellow background & a wreath partially showing behind Bing singing. It is the one with the David Bowie duet. There seems to be some confusion now with Amazon's pasting reviews broadly for any item with the title Bing Crosby Christmas. Evidently this version with David Bowie, Fred Astaire, Jackie Gleason, Gene Kelly, ect. ect. is now only available from private sellers. In the lower corner is an emblem with bells that states "collectors edition" and there are dvd extras including a short musical "Blue of the Night" from 1933. I was hoping to spare others extreme disappointment from ordering something...so different from the TV Christmas specials they are expecting... and thought if there were a few more details they might be able to verify them before ordering...and no, I am not willing to sell the one I have, just trying to help.
