help Holiday FAQ
Who stars in George Cukor's Holiday?
The 1938 version stars Cary Grant as Johnny Case and Katharine Hepburn as Linda Seton. It also features Lew Ayres as Linda's troubled brother Ned.
Is Holiday the same story as The Philadelphia Story?
No. Both are linked to Philip Barry and both have a high-society setting, but Holiday is about Johnny Case resisting a life built only around wealth. The Philadelphia Story came later as a 1940 film with Grant, Hepburn, and James Stewart.
Was the 1938 Holiday a remake?
Yes. George Cukor's film remade a 1930 screen version of Philip Barry's play. The 1938 version is the one most viewers know because of the Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn pairing.
What is Johnny Case's conflict in Holiday?
Johnny wants to make enough money to step away from work while he is still young, rather than join the Seton family's rigid business world. That puts him at odds with Julia Seton and closer in spirit to Linda.
