It is Thanksgiving Day, so I will make this quick and savory! Over the summer, I shared with you a favorite moment from one of my
favorite films, Holiday Inn. On this festive day, I offer up another tasty morsel from the same. Perhaps you will keep it in mind as you celebrate throughout the coming days.
For those of you not understanding the unsettled turkey in
the initial moments, this is a tongue-in-cheek jest to the changing of the Thanksgiving Day
established by President Lincoln. Mainly
due to Great Depression fall-out, and
with (no) thanks to President Roosevelt, Thanksgiving was resettled to the
next-to-last Thursday of the month.
In this sequence, here is another great song featuring the
inimitable Bing Crosby, “I’ve Got Plenty to Be Thankful For,” and features the
adorable Louise Beavers as ‘Mamie.’
Although in the movie, this song not only covers the holiday of
Thanksgiving (which is a turning point of the film), but it moves the plot along, as any great film will do.
As you look back on this past 12 months, may you truly have much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
