Summary
An acrobatically inclined free spirit, following a whirlwind engagement, literally tumbles into the lives of his fiancé's aristocratic family, setting up a clash of values with her staid father while firing the rebellious imagination of her brash, black-sheep sister. With a sparkling surface and an undercurrent of melancholy, the film 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 wellSpecial features: Holiday (1930), a previous adaptation of Philip Barry's play, directed by Edward H. Griffith ; new conversation between filmmaker and distributor Michael Schlesinger and film critic Michael Sragow ; audio excerpts from an American Film Institute oral history with director, George Cukor, recorded in 1970 and '71 ; costume gallery ; plus, an essay by critic Dana Stevens
