Which 1954 musical film starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye features the song "Sisters"?

The story behind the answer

The 1954 musical film starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye that features the song “Sisters” is White Christmas.

Directed by Michael Curtiz, White Christmas follows two former Army performers who team up with a sister act, played by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen, to save a Vermont inn. “Sisters” is performed by the two women as part of their stage act, while Crosby and Kaye later create a comic reprise by dressing and lip-syncing as the sisters.

The film is built around songs by Irving Berlin. Its title song was originally introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film Holiday Inn, where it won the Oscar for Best Original Song. White Christmas instead received an Oscar nomination for “Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep).”

A detail many viewers miss is that Vera-Ellen’s singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Stevens, while Rosemary Clooney supplied her own vocals. The movie was also notable as the first release to use Paramount’s VistaVision widescreen process. Easter Parade and Holiday Inn are related musical landmarks, but “Sisters” is most closely associated with White Christmas.
