synopsis

Johnny Case is charming, handsome, and full of life. When he falls in love with wealthy heiress Julia, he is introduced to her highly conventional family. Stifled by their rigid world, Johnny finds a kindred spirit only in Julia’s free-spirited older sister, Linda.

Modèle absolu de la comédie romantique de l'âge d'or hollywoodien, à la fois charmante et enlevée, "Holiday" mérite vraiment le détour.

George Cukor directed a number of great movies, but none of them balance humor and pathos as beautifully as "Holiday". What starts as screwball comedy becomes something more adult and poignant, colored by what Dave Kehr calls "Cukor's serious concern for the ways in which we choose to live our lives." The elegance here, both in image and in spirit, virtually defines Hollywood glamour.
