Rating: 5.0
On my Top ten all time Favorites!
I remember as a child seeing the little Acrobatics that Grant and Hepburn in "Holiday" in excerps of great classic movies....I thought to myself ....that is what makes Classic movies Classic.Of course we dont have any Cary Grant's or Kathrine Hepburn these days.....nor do we have Directors like George Cukor.Lew Ayres as the Longsuffering Brother to Hepburn brings a perfect balance to the disfunction of the family.Henry Kolker as Hepburns Father gives the distinctive upperclass controlling father a rich complexity. (also see Henry in "the cowboy and the lady" with Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon)If you have come this far to read the reviews, I am sure you know the story or perhaps have seen the movie and want to see if your not the only one out there who loves this movie...."Holiday" is held together by a great story.....a great director and great leads and supporting cast.So without having to explain the story line....which I don't think I can word correctly and therefor sell "Holiday" respectively.....I will say that if your looking to add this to a video collection.....to keep in good company "Bringing Up Baby" and "Philidelphia Story" .....Share this movie with others who have not seen it at least!
