Holiday
US (1938): Comedy
Free-thinking Johnny Case (Cary Grant) finds himself betrothed to a millionaire's daughter (Doris Nolan). When her family, with the exception of black-sheep Linda (Katharine Hepburn) and drunken Ned (Lew Ayres), 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 (Edward Everett Horton -- in the same role he played in 1930 -- and Jean Dixon), he makes up his mind as to which is the better course, and the better mate. George Cukor directs this remake of the 1930 Pathé talkie. (IMDb)
