Holiday (1938)

Holiday is a remake of the 1930 film of the same name directed by George Cukor and released in 1938. Johnny Case, a free thinker, is engaged to the daughter of a wealthy. When her family, with the exception of black-sheep Linda and drunken Ned, wants Johnny to go into big business, he rebels, preferring to spend his early years on "vacation". With the support of his pals Nick and Susan Potter, he decides which path is better, and which companion is better.

Even though the film was not a commercial success, reviewers praised it. Hepburn had gained a reputation as box office poison at the time, which led to her departure from RKO Pictures. Holiday was dubbed "one of Cukor's greatest films" by Time Out London. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored a perfect score of 100 percent based on 23 expert reviews.
