Gender Bending Through the Ages: Bing & Danny are "Sisters"
>> Monday, December 15, 2008
Who could forget this incredibly funny scene from White Christmas where Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye don the Haynes Sisters' feather fans and do a lip sync routine to "Sisters"? White Christmas co-star Rosemary Clooney stated that most of this scene was ad libbed, and the laughter you hear from the audience isn't a laugh track, but the actual laughter from those both on and off camera.

What's funny about this number is that (as Rosemary Clooney related in the DVD's commentary) it was all ad lib. The bit where Danny Kaye is slapping Bing Crosby in the face with the fan made Bing crack up, and they kept it!
I love stuff like that.
