Holiday (1930, Comedy/Drama, Directed by Edward H. Griffith, Starring Ann Harding and Mary Astor) is a charming pre-Code film that explores themes of love, social class, and the pursuit of happiness. Ann Harding stars as Linda Seton, a free-spirited woman from a wealthy family who finds herself drawn to a man with a more unconventional outlook on life. The film is a thoughtful and witty examination of societal expectations versus personal desires, with Harding delivering a nuanced performance that captures the emotional depth of her character. Though it may not be as well-known as the 1938 remake, this early version of Holiday offers a sophisticated and engaging take on the challenges of following one’s own path in a world full of constraints.
