Smart, brilliant, seductive, fascinating, great, must see twice.... . one of refuge-films. because it is sweet and bitter and clever and gives one of the most inspired and moving example of real, pue romance. sure, it is not the only and the couple Hepburn - Grant is the guarantee, beyound the first scene of the virtues of film. but it has the pieces who defines it as...magic. the right story, cast, director and dialogues. the status of moral lesson, impressive scene by scene. the force and science to propose questions with clear answers to the public. and the recipes to do a film who deserves seen many times. off course, it is far to represent a revelation for old movies fans. and it is not Philadephia story. but, it is the perfect refuge for admire a solide art and a wise manner to use it.

Right on the heels of the wildly popular Bringing Up Baby, Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn reunited for their third screen pairing in the screwball comedy Holiday. Once again, Cary plays a well-to-do classy gent whose life plan is unhinged by free spirit Kate. There are pratfalls and silly gags, and everything Bringing Up Baby has—except the leopard. So, if you're like me and only liked the wildcat, you're going to want to skip Holiday.Cary is engaged to Doris Nolan, but her sister Kate catches his eye, and soon he's involved in the madcap hilarities of their entire family, including Lew Ayres and Henry Kolker. There's a giant holiday party, some misunderstandings, and a lot of tumbling. Cary Grant was famous for saying he "ran away with the circus" when he decided to pursue a career in show business, so if you're interested in seeing his hidden acrobatic talents, you can rent Holiday and see his backflips and headstands. Besides that, unless you're a die-hard fan of the screwball genre, you might want to find another Cary or Kate movie to watch, like Notorious or Little Women.

This is a prime example of what a great director could do with a great cast and a pretty solid script. While this film is known for Grant and Hepburn, Doris Nolan is not to be overlooked. Her role as Hepburns sister is a key to the plot.Yes, Nolan is engaged to Grant, and the family is aghast trying to find out more about his back ground. After all, this is a proud family who can not allow their daughter to marry beneath them. The more they find out about Grant, the less worried they become.Meanwhile, Grant gets to know Hepburn and the sparks fly. Which sister does he really want. His desires are leaning towards the sister. Meanwhile, the family is lurching along through the holidays and finally on New Year's Eve, Dad announces at the party that Nolan is engaged to Grant. Suddenly, she has second thoughts. Before long it looks like she is sending him away on a ship for good. Can Hepburn catch Grant before the ship sails, and will it work? With the facts now of Hepburn's attraction to women, the sisterly hugs in this one might have a different meaning?

Johnny Case (Cary Grant) falls in love with Julia Seton (Doris Nolan) while on holiday. Despite knowing little about each other, they become engaged. The free-spirited Johnny finds he doesn't have much in common with Julia's class-obsessed family, except for her 'black sheep' sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn). Gradually Linda begins to fall for Johnny as he struggles with the contrast between what he wants out of life and what Julia wants.This is a nice George Cukor romantic comedy but I'm not as in love with it as others. Grant and Hepburn are great. This is one of Hepburn's more likable roles. But there's something about the plot that leaves me a little cold on the romance front. Basically at the end of the picture I'm left with the feeling that Grant's character is a little quick to fall in love and any potential he might have for a successful relationship with Hepburn or anybody else is doubtful. I guess that's the cynic in me coming out but the film really didn't try to appeal to the romantic. Still, it's a good film with a great director, two amazing stars, and a fine supporting cast.
