For the first of two holiday films this year, The Cine-Files goes back to 1942 and one of the classic musicals of the Golden Age. With incredible singing from Bing Crosby, fantastic dancing from Fred Astaire to the classic music of Irving Berlin, Holiday Inn does not disappoint. However, it does contain one scene which almost takes away its status as a great film and that is the truly upsetting Black Face Sequence in the celebration of Lincoln's Birthday. Which you can feel free to skip. If you ...

Happy Holidays and welcome to the first of two very special Holiday movies on The Cine-Files. First up it's the 1942 classic Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. This is a truly delightful movie with wonderful songs from Iriving Berlin, incredible dancing from Fred Astaire and the introduction of one of the most iconic songs of all time, White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby. Warning: It also contains a truly problematic black face sequence which comes close to ruining an otherwise w...

The final 45 minutes of the film and this entire episode focuses on the only trial ever brought to court on the murder of JFK. This sequence is a tour de force of acting, screenwriting and filmmaking technique.

The problem with conspiracy theories is they can lead you down a rabbit hole and the JFK conspiracy might have more rabbit holes than any other conspiracy in American history.

In two weeks it will be 60 years since one of the most shattering moments in American history when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in the streets of Dallas.
