Hold Everything is a 1930 American Pre-Code film. It was the first musical comedy film to be released that was photographed entirely in early two-color Technicolor. It was adapted from the DeSylva-Brown-Henderson Broadway musical of the same name that had served as a vehicle for Bert Lahr and starred Winnie Lightner and Joe E. Brown as the comedy duo. The romantic subplot was played by Georges Carpentier and Sally O'Neil. Only three songs from the stage show remained: " You're the Cream in My Coffee", "To Know You Is To Love You", and "Don't Hold Everything". New songs were written for the film by Al Dubin and Joe Burke, including one that became a hit in 1930: "When The Little Red Roses Get The Blues For You". The songs in the film were played by Abe Lyman and his orchestra.

Hold Everything was a specialty retail chain in the United States that sold home organization and storage solutions. Its parent company, Williams-Sonoma, closed the chain's 11 existing stores in 2006.
The "Hold Everything" brand began as a Williams-Sonoma catalog introduced in 1983. The catalog's success caused the company to begin opening retail stores using the brand name in 1985. By 1989, it had already opened 12 retail locations.
By early 1991, the chain had opened 24 locations, mostly in California, though Williams-Sonoma president Kent Larson forecast as many as 100-150 total stores. Growth continued, and by 1993 the chain had expanded to 38 locations, with typical stores approximately in size.
In January 2006, Williams-Sonoma announced it would be closing all 11 remaining store locations and the catalog, and moving the product lines to its other stores, including Pottery Barn and West Elm. It was reported the chain's sales had not met expectations and only accounted for a small percentage of Williams-Sonoma's revenue.
Hold Everything is an Australian television series which aired 1961 on Melbourne station HSV-7. A variety series, it was hosted by Peter Colville and aired at 9:30PM on Thursdays, facing tough competition from the popular In Melbourne Tonight on GTV-9. The series was produced at the Fitzroy Teletheatre.
After the series ended, some of the game show elements were retained in a new titled series titled Merry-Go-Round.
