Merry Christmas Fred, From The Crosby’s (1975)

Thirty-three years after they shared the screen in Holiday Inn (1942), Bing and Fred Astaire reunite for this special, originally broadcast on December 3, 1975. The premise: Seventy-six-year-old Astaire and Bing (age 72) are teaming up once again to record an album. The hour is devoted to them testing out tunes, from old favorites to contemporary pop hits. The teen choral group The Young Americans is also on hand to provide some youth appeal. And there’s a surprise appearance by an old friend of Bing’s who’s sure to bring back a memory or two.
