Believe or not, I once saw a German version of White Christmas. They used Bing's singing voice but an actor did the rest of the dialogue in German.

Well that is sort of what I thought. Thank you for confirming.

Hi, new to the forum. I was recently having a conversation about a German recording of White Christmas and wondered whether the 1954 remake of Holiday Inn included Bing Crosby's original voice recording, or whether it was dubbed for German audiences. It seems almost unlikely they would have dubbed Der Bingle, but then I realized I don't really know. The song was quite popular in Germany, thanks to the Bruno Balz version. And surely Bing Crosby would have had a German voice actor dubbing the rest of his dialogue. Does anybody know? Was it replaced and if so, by whom? Who would dare be Der Bingle's German singing voice? ;-)

Thanks!
