“[singing] One minute to midnight, one minute to go, one minute to say good-bye, before we say hello.”

 — Jim Hardy (Bing Crosby), Holiday Inn (1942), screenplay by Claude Binyon, adaptation by Elmer Rice, based on an idea by Irving Berlin

Trivia: Irving Berlin got the idea for the film after writing the song “Easter Parade” for his 1933 show “As Thousands Cheer”, and planned to write a play about American holidays, but it never materialized. He later pitched the idea to Mark Sandrich who got the ball rolling for this film.
