    Storyline

    Edit
    A department store has an indoor ski-slide for the annual contest for department store employees. Salesgirl June has two admirers: a sausage salesman in the store and the store's snooty ski instructor. The ski instructor appears to have the advantage, but the sausage salesman goes into intensive ski-training, wins the contest, and wins the girl. The Dandridge Sisters (Dorothy, Vivian and non-sister Etta Jones) do two numbers. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>

    4/10
    Brief Musical Short On Inspiration
    Described as a short musical romance, "Snow Gets in Your Eyes" is short on romance and short on music, though the Dandridge Sisters appear briefly. The comedy also comes up short. This is a rather uninspiring twenty minute film that revolves around an indoor skiing competition which includes no suspense or prodigious talent.

    Really there is not much to recommend this film. No laugh out loud moments, no tear-jerking scenes, no hum-worthy melodies.
