"There are a thousand nonconformist comedies, but only one Holiday."—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

"Very funny...just the right kind of explosive."—Jaime N. Christley, Slant Magazine

"A joyous movie that nonetheless comes with a pang trailing along, like a comet’s tail.”—Stephanie Zacharek, Time

Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn light up the screen with impeccable chemistry in their third collaboration. Grant is at his charismatic best as the acrobatically inclined free spirit Johnny Case, who, following a whirlwind engagement, literally tumbles into the lives of his fiancée’s aristocratic family—setting up a clash of values with her staid father while firing the rebellious imagination of her brash, black-sheep sister (Hepburn). With a sparkling surface and an undercurrent of melancholy, Holiday is an enchanting ode to nonconformists and pie-in-the-sky dreamers everywhere, as well as a thoughtful reflection on what it truly means to live well.
