HOLIDAY
June 19, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Adapted from the Broadway play by Philip Barry, this 1938 George Cukor film is about a rich young woman (played by Doris Nolan) who has brought home her new fiancé, a dashing young man who insists he would rather do nothing for the next few years of his life, exploring and enjoying the world on “holiday,” rather than join the wealthy family’s business. This aggravates everyone except for the family rebel, a black-sheep sister who finds the young man’s attitude refreshingly laid-back. And with the man played by Cary Grant, and the rebel sister played by Katharine Hepburn, you can guess what path this Holiday is tempted to follow.
