Holiday (Comedy Classics)

Show & Culture

Johnny Case is handsome, charming, and full of life. He falls in love with Julia, a wealthy heiress who wants to properly introduce him to her family. Johnny feels stifled in this rigidly conventional world, and only Linda, the older sister, helps him rediscover the freedom of his former life. "An absolute model of the romantic comedy from Hollywood's golden age, both charming and lively, Holiday is really worth seeing." (àVoir-àLire.com) "George Cukor directed a number of great movies, but none balance humor and pathos as beautifully as Holiday. What starts as screwball comedy becomes something more adult and poignant, colored by Cukor's reflections on the ways we choose to live our lives. The elegance here, both in image and in spirit, virtually defines Hollywood glamour." (Cine-File.com)
