Free-thinking Johnny Case finds himself betrothed to a millionaire's daughter. When her family, with the exception of black-sheep Linda and drunken Ned, want Johnny to settle down to big business, he rebels, wishing instead to spend the early years of his life on "holiday." With the help of his friends Nick and Susan Potter, he makes up his mind as to which is the better course, and the better mate.

IMDB Rating: 7.9/10

Holiday (1938)

Johnny Case (Cary Grant), a self-made man who has worked all of his life, is about to marry Julia Seton (Doris Nolan), whom he met while on holiday in Lake Placid, New York. He knows very little about his bride-to-be, and is flabbergasted to learn that she is from an extremely rich family, the daughter of wealthy banker Edward Seton (Henry Kolker).

Holiday (1938)

He meets Julia's vivacious sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn), to whom he confides his plan to take a long holiday from work to find the meaning of life, and also meets the sisters' dissolute brother Ned (Lew Ayres), whose spirit has been broken by subservience to his father. At first, the father is stunned when Julia tells him about her plan to marry Johnny, but he is appeased after meeting him and looking into his work history, and Julia makes plans for an elaborate New Year's Eve engagement party, even though Linda strongly advises her to hold a smaller, more personal affair.

Holiday (1938)

On the night of the party, Linda refuses to come down, and Julia sends Johnny to get her. He finds her and Ned in the "playroom" – the one truly human room in the enormous, cold, over-built Park Avenue mansion – with Johnny's off-beat friends Professor Potter (Edward Everett Horton) and his wife (Jean Dixon), who have gotten lost and serendipitously ended up there. The group spends a joyful time together, interrupted – just as Johnny and Linda are about to display a tumbling trick together – by Julia and her father.

Holiday (1938)

Mr. Seton offers Johnny a job at his bank, and Johnny reveals his plans for a holiday from work. Julia is appalled, as is her domineering father, and, after seeing in the New Year with Linda, and the announcement of the engagement to the assembled guests, Johnny leaves the mansion in a dark mood, without saying goodbye. Linda tells her brother Ned that she has fallen in love with Johnny, but, because of her love for her sister, will keep her feelings to herself.

Holiday (1938)

Hoping to patch things up between Johnny and Julia, Linda goes to see the Potters and finds them packing their trunks for a voyage to Europe. She learns from them that Johnny is planning to go as well, and has asked Julia to go with them, but that she has turned him down. Linda returns home, hoping to change her sister's mind, but they argue instead. Julia is certain that Johnny will give up his plans and return to her. Just then, Johnny arrives with a compromise: he will work at the bank for two years, but will quit then if he is unhappy. Mr. Seton accepts this, and he and Julia begin planning the couple's honeymoon in minute detail, mixing together stops at the homes of relatives with business-related matters.

Holiday (1938)

This makes Johnny realize that it just won't work, that marrying Julia on these terms will be more of an encumberance on his freedom than he can abide, and he leaves to meet the Potters to sail to Europe. Linda sees from Julia's reaction that she is relieved by Johnny's decision, and makes her admit that she does not really love him after all. With the way now clear, and inspired by Johnny, she renounces her father's stifling influence and declares her independence, rushing off to meet Johnny and the Potters to go on holiday.

Holiday (1938)

Holiday is a 1938 film directed by George Cukor, a remake of the 1930 film of the same name. The film is a romantic comedy which tells the story of a man who has risen from humble beginnings only to be torn between his free-thinking lifestyle and the tradition of his wealthy fiancée's family. The movie was adapted by Donald Ogden Stewart and Sidney Buchman from the play by Philip Barry and stars Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and features Doris Nolan, Lew Ayres, and Edward Everett Horton, who played the same role he had played in the 1930 version.
