Show Notes

This week I dive into my favorite George Cukor/Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant collaboration: "Holiday" (1938) and that's really saying something because I absolutely love "A Philadelphia Story" (1940).

"Holiday" is a holiday rom-com that is based off a brilliant and biting stage play from 1928 by Philip Barry. The episode is short and sweet like the film, but talking about this Hidden Gem allowed me to dive into some Old Hollywood fun facts, but as it was made more than 80 years ago, it also inspired me to fantasize about what a remake of this movie could look like (could never be better, but could be fun!!).
