Probably the best part of the movie is the long New Year's Eve party sequence. It has many entertaining touches, and brings together all of the characters and themes nicely. The atmosphere in the 'play room' is creative, and is very appropriate for the scenes there. The cast members all do a very good job of reacting consistently to their surroundings, with some characters more comfortable in formalized settings and others happier when they are less constrained.
Though it has perhaps been overshadowed by some of the more famous films of its era, "Holiday" is an entertaining classic that most fans of vintage romantic comedies should enjoy.
