Michael Curtiz · 1954 · rail

Michael Curtiz's 1954 musical follows two army buddies turned entertainers who chase a sister act to a struggling Vermont inn, only to find it run by their old wartime general. The route runs from the front at Monte Cassino to a Florida stage and up the rails to snowless Pine Tree, Vermont.

1. 1
   Monte Cassino

   On Christmas Eve 1944, near the ruins of Monte Cassino, two soldiers put on a show for their division and say goodbye to their beloved general as the war grinds on.

2. 2
   Florida

   Years later, now a famous song-and-dance act, Bob and Phil catch a sister act at a Florida nightclub and, smitten, decide to follow the girls north.

3. 3
   New York

   The plan was New York and a new show, but a whim sends all four onto the northbound train instead, singing of the snow they hope to find.

4. 4
   Pine Tree

   At a Vermont inn with no snow and no guests, they find their old general nearly ruined, and set out to fill his empty lodge and, on Christmas Eve, conjure the snow.
