Holiday Inn (1942)
An aging entertainer believes he has hit upon a winning combination when he makes plans to marry and move to the country. But then he loses the girl and the farm turns out to be more work than he expected. So he saves himself with a better plan – he turns his big house into a dinner club that is only open over holidays.
This is a classic so finely wrought, it bears playing every year – even if most talent back then acted a bit goofy.
