Revealing mistake: When Jim and Linda are walking outside after the first night Holiday Inn is open, they are walking through the "snow" but leave no footprints behind them. It is obvious that it is simply a stage floor painted white.
Holiday Inn (1942)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Mark Sandrich
Starring: Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Marjorie Reynolds, Virginia Dale
Continuity mistake: When Bing Crosby sends a telegram to Fred Astaire it is dated Dec 25, even though it is revealed a few moment later in the flower shop scene that it is Christmas Eve.
Linda Mason: What would you like?
Danny Reed: Orchids, the finest you've got.
Linda Mason: Corsage?
Danny Reed: No, no. A dozen, loose, looking like they don't care.
Trivia: This movie débuts two famous Irving Berlin songs, both of which became the title songs for later movies starring one or other of the lead men from this movie - "White Christmas" in 1954 was led by Bing Crosby, and "Easter Parade" in 1948 with Fred Astaire.
