Johnny Case, a freethinking financier, has finally found the girl of his dreams — Julia Seton, the spoiled daughter of a socially prominent millionaire — and she’s agreed to marry him. But when Johnny plans a holiday for the two to enjoy life while they are still young, his fiancée has other plans & that is for Johnny to work in her father’s bank!
The irresistible duo of Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant light up the screen in director George Cukor’s witty and heartfelt romantic comedy.
Grant stars as a free-spirited, self-made man who’s engaged to the wealthy Julia (Doris Nolan). But when he meets her unconventional sister, Linda (Hepburn), he begins to question whether a life of privilege is really for him. As Johnny dreams of taking a “holiday” from work to truly live, he finds a kindred spirit in Linda—setting the stage for a journey of romance and self-discovery.
The story’s sharp social commentary provides a refreshing, contemporary take on the American Dream, delivered with effervescent humour and propped up by a stellar supporting cast. Don’t miss this sparkling classic on the big screen! -TORONTO FILM SOCIETY
