... you can learn from:
Holiday (1938)
Nick Potter: You know, this reminds me a little of thepalace of Caligula. You remember Caligula, don't you, dear?Susan Potter: Oh, very well indeed. Whatever became of him?
I usually only post about my beloved Holiday around the, you guessed it, holidays. But what is the 140th anniversary of the comic legend and "lifelong committed bachelor" Edward Everett Horton if not a holiday? One of the great scene stealers there ever was or ever will be, Horton wandered through classics like Arsenic and Old Lace, Top Hat, Trouble in Paradise, The Gay Divorcee, Here Comes Mr. Jordan, Design For Living, and on and on and on, stealing scenes left right and right off Cary Grant's bumbling lips and bumblingest hips, among many. We love him! That said Holiday is very much my go-to-fave (as it is for every single actor in it) -- but what's yours?

I loooove HOLIDAY and his voice work on FRACTURED FAIRY TALES is a great childhood memory. But there's also his brilliance in the Astaire-Rogers flicks, TROUBLE IN PARADISE, LOST HORIZON, THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN, DESIGN FOR LIVING, LOST HORIZON and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE.
