Holiday Criterion Collection #1009 DVD Katharine Hepburn Cary Grant 1930s Comedy

Description: For sale is the two-disc DVD set of the George Cukor directed 1938 American romantic screwball comedy film Holiday, starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. It is #1009 in the Criterion Collection and is a stated first printing of the 2020 DVD edition.DescriptionTwo years before stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant and director George Cukor would collaborate on The Philadelphia Story, they brought their timeless talents to this delectable slice of 1930s romantic-comedy perfection, the second film adaptation of a hit 1928 play by Philip Barry. Grant is at his charismatic best as the acrobatically inclined free spirit who, following a whirlwind engagement, 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 (Hepburn). With a sparkling surface and an undercurrent of melancholy, Holiday is an enchanting ode to nonconformists and pie-in-the-sky dreamers everywhere, as well as a thoughtful reflection on what it truly means to live well.Film Info: United States, 1938, 95 minutes, Black & White, 1.37:1, EnglishSpecial FeaturesNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-rayHoliday (1930), a previous adaptation of Philip Barry’s play, directed by Edward H.
