Overview

This classic romantic comedy became a beloved film starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Free-spirited Johnny Case finds himself engaged to one girl but preferring another. The wealthy Seton sisters are his intended: socially proper Julia and Linda, non-conforming and fresh.

Johnny and Linda fall in love, and the two kindred souls take their “life-as-a-holiday” in the company of each other.
