...much money, it would seem impossible to do so ten years later. Surprise of the third edition of Holiday is that it surmounts this apparent handicap without trying and emerges, thanks to Screenwriters Donald Ogden Stewart and Sidney Buchman, Director George Cukor and a cast brilliantly headed by Katharine Hepburn, as superior to both its high-grade predecessors...
