"Is this where the club meets?"

Holiday - I first saw this movie years ago on PBS and fell in love with it. I am a sucker for Katherine Hepburn movies. So when my mom sent me some money I decided to purchase this film. I now own this lovely film.

Johnny Casey falls in love with Julia Seton whom he meets while vacationing. He knows little of her and yet like all old movies they fall in love and ten days later he proposes. They want to get married in a month. The movie surrounds Johnny meeting Julia's family. The Setons are rich rich. He is not. Linda Seton (Katherine Hepburn) is the "black sheep" of the family. Linda is the carefree woman who does not buy into the money. Julia, on the other hand, is not at all like Linda. Julia wants to mold Johnny into a version of her entrepreneurial grandfather.

Of course there is tension between Johnny and Julia. Julia wants Johnny to go into the business. Johnny wants to make enough money while he is still young in order to enjoy life and figure out what he wants to do with his life later. He will go back to work when he knows what he wants to work for. Linda instantly likes him and sees him as a breath of fresh air.

This film is wonderful. You know where the film is going and you can't wait for it to get there. Linda and Julia's brother Ned is a drunken delight, as are Johnny's good friends the Potters - who are called The Porters through out the film. I say this is a great movie to catch on PBS or I'll lend to you. "Walk, don't run, to the nearest exit." Just so many great lines in this film.
