Summary: The best comedy of a lifetime. Perhaps of all time.
Review: "Bringing Up Baby" is one of my all time favorite comedies. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are perfect in this fast paced slapstick involving a leopard, a difficult dog and a valuable dinosaur bone. Grant and Hepburn are naturally funny together, and in this film it's one hilarious misadventure after another for them. There are added bonuses in this movie with the excellent performaces of May Robson as the rich Aunt Elizabeth, and Charlie Ruggles as Major Horace Applegate. I thought it was especially funny while Major Applegate imitated the leopard's mating cry at the dinner table, the real leopard answered it outside in which Susan explained, "It was probably an echo." I couldn't stop laughing at the scene where Charlie Ruggles tried to put a rope around the wild leopard's neck while calling it like a tame housecat! "Here, kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty!" It's a priceless film worth seeing over and over again!

Review: Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn team up in this delightful screwball comedy. The dialogue and comic timing are perfect. I can't remember any other movie that I have seen with as many hilarious circumstances as this film. It is truly a great classic. Watch as David (Grant) and Susan (Hepburn) team up while searching for a leopard, a dog and an intercostal clavical (Dinosaur bone) in Connecticut. This fim is one of my all-time favorites. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Don't miss it!

Review: Number 19 on AFI's Top 100 Comedies?? Are you joking? This is the best screwball comedy in the history of film. The dialogue is amazingly fast; the movie demands multiple viewings to get all of the jokes. Of course, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are very nice to look at and play their parts perfectly (Hepburn's voice and LAUGH did annoy me the first time I watched it, but she grows on you). The supporting characters are hilarious - they're all old pros, and you can tell. Walter Catlett, who taught Hepburn slapstick timing, especially stands out as Constable Slocum. Buy or rent this movie to experience the perfect screwball comedy.

Summary: Kate the Great goes screwball!
Review: It's hard to believe that when "Bringing Up Baby" was first released in early 1938, it was a flop at the box-office, no doubt due to Katharine Hepburn being branded "box-office poison". However, with the passage of time as well as frequent showings on TV & video, this film has been judged to be the supreme example of the popular 1930's genre known as "screwball" comedy involving zany humor & seemingly implausible situations that the characters involved get themselves into & out of - so much so that "Bringing Up Baby" is now listed on the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being among a select group of American movies to be preserved for posterity. Kate the Great shines brightly in this, her first & only foray into slapstick humor, as she & Cary Grant progress from one disaster to another. Grant plays the role of David Huxley, a somewhat stuffy paleontologist trying to complete a dinosaur skeleton he's been working on for four years by obtaining the final fossilized bone - an "intercostal clavicle". Hepburn is Susan Vance, a wealthy heiress who plays a free-spirited counterpoint to Huxley's primness. Needless to say, the sparks start to fly after David & Susan first come into contact with each other. The screwball ride "Bringing Up Baby" takes the viewer on begins when Kate & Cary meet at a golf course where she plays his ball that was hooked off the first tee back to the 18th fairway, then starts to escalate when Hepburn drives off in Grant's car while he's riding on the running board. From there one must hang on for the even wilder ride that follows which includes a pet leopard named Baby (the film's namesake), a yappy wire-haired terrier named George (Asta from the "Thin Man" series) who steals the priceless dinosaur bone, a pompous big-game hunter who can't tell the sound of a leopard from that of a loon, and a second vicious leopard that escapes from a circus truck as it is taken to be destroyed. "Bringing Up Baby" is also strengthened by a solid supporting cast that includes Virginia Walker (a former Boston socialite in her first film) as David Huxley's prudish fiancee Alice Swallow, May Robson as Susan Vance's aunt Elizabeth, Barry Fitzgerald as a temperamental Irish gardener, Charlie Ruggles as the big-game hunter, and - my personal favorite - Walter Catlett as a gesturing, posturing town constable. As an example of this movie's timelessness, an acquaintance told me of how they recently watched "Bringing Up Baby" with a group of teenagers who were literally rolling on the floor laughing at the on-screen antics. I'd be rather surprised if anyone watching this film for the first time wouldn't be doing the same thing.

Review: Bringing Up Baby was a very funny movie. Hepburn and Grant did an excellent job. Hepburn plays the funny 'blonde' and Grant is just at his wits end with her. Watch this movie.

Summary: Bringing Up Baby
Review: Plot: David is trying to get some money for his museum. He also has one last dinosaur bone to put in place....He meets Susan, a rich young girl, with a newly acquired pet leopard. Things go from bad to worse when her aunt's terrier buries David's precious bone. ..and so it goes. Needless to say, they fall in love! This is Cary Grant's 30th film, his second movie out of four with Katharine Hepburn, and his first out of five being directed by Howard Hawks. This has become one of my favorite films, but it has taken several times watching it to digest all the frivolity and clever lines spoken by its stars. I enjoy it more and more each time I see it. At this point in her career, Katharine Hepburn was labeled "box-office poison" by theatre owners, and RKO put her in films such as this in order to revive her career. This film lost more than $350,000.00 which further contributed to Hepburn's reputation as "box-office poison." Now this film has become known as one of the finest of screwball comedies and an all-time classic, but in its day it was a disaster. Gary Grant is perfectly at home as a farceur and Ms. Hepburn matches him in ever respect. This is the story of David Huxley, a paleontologist, trying to secure a $1,000,000.00 endowment for his museum. He meets up with Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn) who is trying to leave the golf course in David's car and who is so goofy in her role, that she plays her character so unbelievably well. The two make such a cute couple in this movie, matching each other's lines word for word. Susan falls in love with David and immediately takes steps in order to stop him from showing up at his wedding to Alice Swallow, his business cohort, the following day. Susan conjures up all types of schemes to keep David close to her, including hunting for a leopard (Baby), stealing his clothes, losing the important intercostal clavicle (which was taken by George, the dog, played again by Asta), which David has taken four years to find, and which is the last part of the brontosaurus skeleton needed to complete his dinosaur structure. They get put in jail, fall into the river, dig many holes in the yard to find the bone, and the list of great comedy goes on and on. This movie rivals the comedic level of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, and HIS GIRL FRIDAY, and is so cleverly written and is filled with such laughter and fun. Too bad life can't be like this! Personally, I think this is one of Cary's best roles, coming right on the heels of THE AWFUL TRUTH, when he discovered that indeed he was a comedian at heart. Too bad that the Academy of Motion Pictures did not recognize comedy as worthy of Oscar nomination, for certainly this would have won an award. This film has stood the test of time and is much more appreciated today than when he first was released. In the end, the $1,000,000.00 is given to Susan, who in turn gives it to David for his museum, and when they realize they are in love, Susan climbs up on a ladder to give David the lost bone, she starts to fall, and climbs on the dinosaur bone structure and it tumbles to the ground (4 years of work down the drain), but David catches her with his arm and pulls her up on the scaffolding and they end up in each others arms. That's worth the million dollars right there. Bravo, for Cary.

Summary: Recommeded
Review: I have watched this classic movie more times than I can remember and I have laughed each time. The jokes, the physical and verbal comdey, and the chemistry between Hepburn and Grant are a delicious mix. I enjoy older films, but this movie is recommended to anyone who likes a good comedy. It is infinitely better than some of today's lame comedies and gives you a fresh, enjoyable, side-splitting laugh.
