Cary Grants best.......2008-02-05
This film is far from perfect but it is the best Grant, Hepburn colaboration of there careeers. It beats sylvia Saint, Philadelphia story and even in my opinion, Bringing up baby. It doesn't have the same production values nor even the plot as those films but it simply works as the perfect romantic comedy. It's also the only film i can think of where Grant displays his expertise as an acrobat and it's the only film where i actually sympathised with Katherine Hepburns character (i usually find her quite irritating)
The story is very simple. Boy meets girl. Boy meets family of girl. Girls sister falls for Grant. Girl turns out to be wrong for him. Sister turns out to be right for him. Simplistic but believable and rewarding.
It's warm, genuine and entertaining....prabably my favourite Grant film
This film is for life not just for Christmas!.......2008-02-03
Although this is set at Christmas, don't think it's the usual touchy-feely festive nonsense; it isn't.
This is refreshingly feisty with Hepburn in particular on fine form and getting her teeth into a character that you don't usually find in films like this. Interestingly, this film was made during the period when Hepburn was deemed to be "box office poison". It's funny how her character is appealing to our 21st century eyes as it's not run of the mill and she plays it with a lot of charm and gusto.
Grant is good here, although clearly hasn't settled into his peerless screen persona that served him so well in later films (North by Northwest, Charade, Walk Don't Run).
Supporting characters are also a cut above the average.
If you're looking for something that's not sentimental drivel a fiver spent on Holiday is a fiver well spent.
Sophisticated Romantic Comedy with star power.......2007-12-23
"Holiday" was directed by George Cukor in 1938 and is another excellent example of the sophisticated comedies that made him famous. Cukor made Katherine Hepburn a star directing her in several quality films from the period which include Little Women(1933); Sylvia Scarlett (1935); The Philadelphia Story (1940); Keeper of the Flame (1942); Adam's Rib (1949) so much so that Cukor became known as a womens director having also produced fine work with Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich and later with Judy Holiday and Audrey Hepburn.
"Holiday" was adapted by Sidney Buchman (Mr Smith goes to Washington,1939) and Donald Stewart (Dinner at Eight,1933) from the Broadway play by Philip Barry and is about the quality of life one chooses for oneself free of the expectations of others. The character of Linda Seton was apparently based on Gertrude Legendre who once said "I don't contemplate life, I live it" and that seems to be the crux of this film: Getting out there and finding out who you are and want you want before it's too late and not being weighed down by the accumulation of material possessions. Cary Grant stars opposite Hepburn in one a several teamings but really it is Katherine Hepburn who's star shines the brightest here.
Cinematography was by Franz Planer (Roman Holiday, 1953; Criss Cross, 1948; Letter from an Unknown Woman, 1948; Champion, 1949; Breakfast at Tiffiny's,1961)
great.......2007-11-22
i don't love this film as much as bringing up baby but the two of them teamed up together makes me laugh regardless and that is the main thing!cary gant is one of my favourite classic actors and the quick wit yo yo-ed backwards and forwards between the two is enough for me anyday.
Brillant.......2007-06-19
Two of the best actors ever. Great film. Kathrine is her usual brillant self
If there is anything Kathrine cannot be , it is mediocore

1938 classic!.......2007-12-26
Personally, my favourite version of the Dickens classic: 'A Christmas Carol'. Starring Reggie Owen as 'Scrooge' and the Lockhart family. This version moves you to tears like no other in my opinion, and has a brilliant cast. I have a ritual of watching this every Christmas Eve and Night, and it never fails to charm. This has been lovingly re-mastered.
Note: Though advertised as region code 1 and NTSC format, for some reason, this DVD plays fine on a region 2 Player.
Mr Scrooge.......2006-12-29
I bought this and it plays on my UK DVD player.
The story is great like all the other Scrooge stories.
I am happy that I got to see this DVD and I am from the UK because people from the UK are not ment to see it. I have ordered the other one that I am wanting, An American Christmas Carol and I hope it works when I get it.
"Christmas, Humbug?".......2006-08-06
'A Christmas Carol' is not only the greatest Christmas story of all time, it is one of the greatest stories, alone, ever told. But when asked what I think the greatest adaptation of the novel is, I turn not to Alastair Sim's "Scrooge" which is, indeed, brilliant but to the 1938 Reginald Owen film.
"Why?", you might ask. It strays so far from the book, the writers literally rewrote the story in parts. However, for me, the spirit of the film is wonderful, evoking the Victorian England that Dickens was looking to portray. Indeed, being such an old movie, the film makers seemed to have a good idea of Victorian times. Reginald Owen was, of course, borne of the Victorian Era and seemed very at home in the role. He is the truly definitive Scrooge: old and convinced that he cannot change whilst seeming too miserly too eat enough to improve on his slight stature.
As mentioned, the script strays far from the novel and large parts are simply cut out (it is only around an hour in length). Bob Cratchit is fired, the Ghost of Christmas Past is a young woman, Tiny Tim and Peter become acquainted with Fred at the start in a snow sliding contest, and Scrooge comes bearing gifts at the end like an old Santa Clause. But the movie is filmed brilliantly, each shot escorting you back to the Victorian Christmas and each scene played with faith and good heart. The black and white quality gives the film a timelessness but if there is one thing that provides the movie with its undoubted atmosphere, it is the brilliant score and choice of music. It opens with "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and smoothly runs into the melodic music that is present throughout. In the scenes where Marley's ghost appears there is a terrifying quality but in the uplifting scenes, the music is joyful and bouncy. There is also a wonderful sequence in church with Tiny Tim and his father singing "O Come All Ye Faithful". I guarantee you will be humming the score for the rest of the day.
The effects in the film are primitive and this is a treat. It only serves, in its black and white nature, to bring an even scarier, supernatural quality to the scenes. All four of the ghosts play their parts well especially Marley who looks forever regretful of his selfish past. In addition, all the other actors are solid, especially Gene Lockhart as the beaten down Bob Cratchit.
I simply cannot recommend this film enough: it evokes a sense of wondrous Christmas that can no longer be mustered up in modern adaptations. To be honest, I can't quite put my finger on why this is, but that is irrelevant. I first saw the film after waking up at around five o' clock on a Christmas morning some ten years ago when it was on television. Its magic has not faded since. Buy it and watch alone in the dark by the fire around Christmas time. You won't regret it for a second, I promise.

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in another Barry play.......2004-06-04
Katharine Hepburn made three films in a row with Cary Grant when she brought her career back after being branded "Box Office Poison." The pair had first made "Sylvia Scarlett" together in 1936, the infamous film where Hepburn's character pretended to be a boy. In 1938 they made the classic screwball comedy "Bringing Up Baby" with director Howard Hawks and in 1940 Hepburn returned to stardom and Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story." The latter had been a play specifically written for Hepburn by Philip Barry. In between these two classic films, Hepburn and Grant did "Holiday," another film based on a Barry play. Hepburn had been the understudy for Hope Williams in the original 1928 Broadway production and it was the way she picked up a glass in her screen test of a scene from the play that inspired director George Cukor to cast the young actress in her debut film "A Bill of Divorcement." Now, five years later, he would direct her in the second movie version.
The story begins with us meeting Johnny Case (Grant), an engaging young man with some interesting ideas about life. At Lake Placid he met Julia Seton (Doris Nolan), fell in love, and proposed to her. Coming to New York City to meet her family, he arrives at a mansion and is shocked to learn that his beloved is one of THE Setons. Julia's father (Henry Kolker) is not sure what to think of his daughter's intended, but Julia's rather unconventional sister, Linda (Hepburn) thinks Johnny is wonderful. The problem is that Johnny's big plan is to make his fortune when he is young and then retire (i.e., go on a "holiday"), returning to work again when he gets older, which is heresy to old man Seton. He and Julia will try to teach Johnny the error of his ways, while Linda offers her support. Helping to balance the odds for Johnny are his friends, Nick (Edward Everett Horton) and Susan Potter (Jean Dixon), the chief members of his fan club. Linda tries to keep Johnny and Julia together, but it seems she is the only one in the Seton household who appreciates Johnny on his own terms.
"Holiday" had been filmed in 1930 by Edward H. Griffith with Ann Harding as Linda, Mary Astor as Julia, and Robert Ames as Johnny. Edward Everett Horton played Nick Potter in that version as well, although his wife was played by Hedda Hopper. The screenplay for the 1938 version was done by Donald Ogden Stewart and Sidney Buchman, and it was primarily Stewart who punched up the script version of Barry's revolt against the stuffed-shirts of the world with smart and literate dialogue (Stewart had played the Nick Potter role on Broadway). The result was that the production ended up with some nice ensemble work. Hepburn was under contract to RKO at the time, but bought herself out of her contract to do this film with Cukor at Columbia. Her performance was arguably the most simple and straightforward of any she had done in films up to that point, with all of the pretense and mannerisms stripped away, and the scene where she compares her angular face, with those famous cheekbones, to that of a toy giraffe, is one of the most endearing shots in her film career. Granted, "Holiday" is not going to end up on the AFI's list of Top 100 Films like "Bringing Up Baby" and "The Philadelphia Story," but it is still an enjoyable, solid little filme in which the two stars actually get to do some acrobatics.
Masterpiece cinema for all times.......2003-10-25
Like all the best comedy, the full effect of 'Holiday' arises out of the fact that it juxtoposes humour with real and unpaletable truths. Grant and Hepburn as Johnny and Linda - he the idealistic poor-boy-come-good and she the unmaterialistic black sheep of a wealthy family - battle against a fickle world concerned with material wealth and living out the WASP dream.
Edward Everett Horton as Linda's traditionalist father Mr Seaton and Doris Nolan as Linda's conventional sister Julia - initially Johnny's fiancee - provide the obstacles in the path of the the pair's voyage of self discovery. Brutally broken by the phony world he lives in but eager to aid Johnny and Linda's escape is Linda's dipsomaniac brother Ned (Lew Ayers), proving that theory that many a profound truth was spoken by a drunk. Rounding off a great ensemble cast are Johnny's friends Nick and Susan, who provide a Greek chorus for the battleground of idealism vs convention.
'Holiday' provides a cutting satire of the wealth culture that is as pertinent today as it was sixty years ago and the poignancy of Linda and Ned's oppression offset by her fiesty optimism provides more than enough emotional drive to power the film. Then of course there's the comedy: fast-cracking one-liners, great physical gags, a marvellous array of facial expressions and several acrobatic and musical feats provide something for all tastes, held together by an intelligent script. Hepburn as usual shines with enthusiam and sly wit, Grant is at his most animated, bemused and naive, and Lew Ayers puts in a wonderful performance.
How anyone can say that 'old' films are no longer appealing or relevant to a modern audience is baffling in the face of an offering like 'Holiday.' Upon first viewing it immediately became one of my top 3 films of all time. Having seen it however it becomes obvious why Hepburn was at the time branded 'box-office poison' - no society is tolerant of such a sharp and witty critique of its values as the film provides. Time may have made us more appreciative of 'Holiday's' greatness, but don't fool yourself that this critique doesn't apply to you to!
Sophisticated Comedy That Still Sparkles Today.......2003-09-29
Again cast opposite Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn is the rich, rebellious free-spirited daughter of the House that effortlessly seduces her sister's fiancée away with the cumplicity of her good for nothing but likeable brother played here to perfection by Lew Ayres as the stereotype of the spoilt playboy. An additional cast of anchor characters for Cary's character - as well as the household servants at Kate's mansion plus her indomitable father - leave little room for breathing in this fast-paced comedy!
The DVD features aren't really much to write home about - but hey!, this is a well-preserved classic that will charm many generations to come. At least it's subtitled in all the major european languages.
