Ep. 184: Holiday (1938) or ‘Ayre-Heads’

Zach welcomes back film blogger Zoë Kaperonis (The Film Around the Corner)to unpack the emotional baggage of the Seaton family as the duo tackle George Cukor’s 1938 comedy melodrama, HOLIDAY!

 

Pull up a chair and pour a drink for yourself & a stuffed giraffe as they learn more about the life of George Cukor, argue in defense of his directing style & brilliance, wrestle with the approach to the material and how it triumphs over its 1930 counterpart, get lost in Lew Ayres’ sad eyes, and then finally settle upon the legacy of the film and its impact on us today.
