Holiday Overview:
Holiday (1938) was a Comedy - Romance Film directed by George Cukor and produced by Everett Riskin.
SYNOPSIS
Hepburn and Grant shine in this gentle Cukor screwball comedy about a wrong marriage halted and the right one joyously celebrated. Grant's a free spirit who thinks he's just met the girl of his dreams. But he soon discovers that his lovely new bride-to-be comes from a blueblood Park Avenue family. He meets his true match in his intended's unconventional sister, Hepburn, who wants something different than the life her family has mapped out. Based on the play by Phillip Barry, the author of The Philadelphia Story, which would become a triumph for some of the same crew two years later.
