Screwball sparks fly when Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn let loose in one of the fastest and funniest films ever made — a high-wire act of invention that took American comedy to new heights of absurdity. Comedy is frustration.
Hoping to procure a million-dollar endowment from a wealthy society matron for his museum, a hapless paleontologist (Cary Grant) finds himself entangled with a dizzy heiress (Katharine Hepburn) as the manic misadventures pile up—a missing dinosaur bone, a leopard on the loose, and plenty of gender-bending mayhem among them. BRINGING UP BABY’s sophisticated dialogue, spontaneous performances, and giddy innuendo come together in a whirlwind of comic chaos captured with lightning-in-a-bottle brio by director Howard Hawks.
"Cary Grant wearing nothing but a fur trimmed chiffon dressing gown while jumping in the air and saying 'I just went GAY all of a sudden' is the only thing that has ever mattered to me." - Ele S.
