Film Classic 'Holiday' at National Gallery - Must Register on Their Site!

Always nice to get to the National Gallery, especially this time of the year. I heard the Australian Indigenous Art exhibit - The Stars We Do Not See - is amazing, so we might get to that after. And a late lunch (or early dinner) after if folks are interested. And there's always ice skating. :-)

George Cukor’s classic comedy of generational and class differences, Holiday stars the legendary Katharine Hepburn (Linda Seton) and Cary Grant (Johnny Case) at their charismatic, bantering best. Following a whirlwind engagement, the acrobatically inclined, free-spirited Johnny literally tumbles into the lives of his fiancée’s aristocratic family, setting up a clash of values with her staid father while firing the rebellious imagination of her brash, black-sheep sister Linda. (George Cukor, 1938, DCP, 95 minutes)

From a City Paper review last year:

Certainly, Holiday wears its sadness on its sleeve, but it’s also incredibly fun. No one should dismiss the pleasures of watching two gorgeous people fall in love, especially when it’s based not just on attraction but an actual meeting of the souls. Grant and Hepburn are two of the best at this sort of thing, and they’d do it to more acclaim two years later in The Philadelphia Story. We don’t have stars like them anymore, who can make you believe in love again in a tight 95 minutes. Johnny and Linda may sail off to see the world, but the real holiday is ours.

The film is a classic and it's free, but you must register.
