HOLIDAY and THE RAZOR’S EDGE at Bright Lights
by Andre Soares
At Bright Lights:
Lesley Chow discusses "The Dreamers of Holiday and The Razor’s Edge"
A Brief quote:
"For me, the climax of character development in Hollywood occurs in Holiday (1938), when a man tells his sister (Katharine Hepburn) that the family’s perception of their other sister, Julia (Doris Nolan …), is incorrect. She seems spirited, but in reality, "she’s a very dull girl." But why has this never been noticed? It’s because, Ned (Lew Ayres) tells Linda, most people are "taken in by her looks." This is quite a shock, particularly since it doesn’t refer to Julia being a great beauty — she’s not, at least compared to Hepburn."
