Julia's father offers him a job at his bank and begins to plan his life. Julia's sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn) falls in love with Johnny, but also with his disdain for wealth.

Reviews for Holiday

Review - Holiday

This movie ought to be very popular these days with its subtle criticism of wealth. I totally sympathized with Johnny's desire for adventure and meaning. Hepburn's character here was interesting, but I don't care at all for her brash, abrasive personality.
