Holiday (released in the United Kingdom as Free to Live)^[1] is a 1938 American romantic comedy film directed by George Cukor, a remake of the 1930 film of the same name.

The film tells of a man who has risen from humble beginnings only to be torn between his free-thinking lifestyle and the tradition of his wealthy fiancée's family.

The film, adapted by Donald Ogden Stewart and Sidney Buchman from the 1928 play of the same name by Philip Barry, stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant and features Doris Nolan, Lew Ayres, and Edward Everett Horton. Horton reprised his role as Professor Nick Potter from the 1930 version.

Although Hepburn had been Hope Williams' understudy in the original production of the play on Broadway, she played the part for only one performance.^[2] Screenwriter Donald Ogden Stewart appeared in the original stage version as Nick Potter.^[3]
