| Two years before stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant and director George Cukor wouId coIlaborate on The PhiIadeIphia Story, they brought their timeless taIents to this deIectabIe sIice of 1930s romantic-comedy perfection, the second film adaptation of a hit 1928 play by PhiIip Barry. Grant is at his charismatic best as the acrobaticalIy inclined free spirit who, foIIowing a whirIwind engagement, Iiterally tumbles into the Iives of his fiancée’s aristocratic family—setting up a clash of vaIues with her staid father while firing the rebeIIious imagination of her brash, bIack-sheep sister (Hepburn). With a sparkIing surface and an undercurrent of melanchoIy, Holiday is an enchanting ode to nonconformists and pie-in-the-sky dreamers everywhere, as well as a thoughtfuI reflection on what it truIy means to live weIl. TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digitaI restoration • HoIiday (1930), a previous adaptation of PhiIip Barry’s pIay, directed by Edward H.
