Bringing Up Baby U

Part of Screwball Summer
Howard Hawks, USA, 1938, 103m.

No synopsis can do it justice: Cary Grant plays a stuffy palaeontologist who meets the anarchically free-spirited Katharine Hepburn. She has a pet leopard (the titular Baby, seamlessly inserted into scenes where one swipe of claws could have ended a Hollywood heart-throb's career). It also involves a missing dinosaur bone, a million-dollar donation and perhaps the most competitive game of golf ever. Hawks powers through all of this, keeping his performers busy with a torrent of one-liners and physical comedy moves that only the extremely talented could even hope to grapple with. It's perfect. - The Guardian

Cast:
Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, May Robson, Charles Ruggles, Barry Fitzgerald
