South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

 

Get yourself in the Christmas spirit this festive season by coming along to Lanark Memorial Hall and watching the classic movie the way it was intended – on the big screen.

Having left the Army following WWII, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song-and-dance act. 

Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, as the lodge owner.

A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General.

Starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney, this is a real festive classic.
