Cary Grant’s best film roles, from Charade to Notorious, to Holiday

Another cracking romantic comedy, in Holiday, Grant plays self-made man Johnny Case, who is about to marry Julia Seton (Doris Nolan), the daughter of a wealthy banker. A film adaptation of a 1928 play, most of the film takes place at a glitzy New Year’s Eve party: for a moment it looks like Johnny has bitten off more than he can chew when he meets Julia’s family – her stern father, Edward (Henry Kolker), her alcoholic brother Ned Jr (Lew Ayres) and her spirited older sister, Linda (Katharine Hepburn). But things turn sour, then sweet, when Johnny finds a twin flame in Linda.
