Holiday (1938)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030241/]
The Gist:
This is a lesser known Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant pairing, which is a shame because it's quite good, maybe even their best. Although, now that I think of it, I have strange prejudices of their more famous outings. I found Bringing Up Baby, for instance, too madcap and theatrical for its own good. And as far as The Philidelphia Story...I'm sorry but James Stewart was a fucking badass in that film. No way she ends up with Cary Grant, it's bullshit. Anyway, the girl Grant's initially set up with in this film is appropriately droll, and Hepburn turns in one of her most likable performances. She manages to be crazy (because she's Katherine Hepburn and does crazy well), but also very sweet and vulnerable.
