White Christmas Actually: The original idea was to reunite Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby, as they had been successful in Holiday Inn (1942). Astaire refused, as he had “retired” at the time, so the part was reworked for Donald O’Connor. O’Connor pulled out, and the part was reworked for Danny Kaye. So it’s not a remake, it was made to reunite, but Astaire was ‘retired’ so refused.
