Bringing Up Baby

Director: Howard Hawks

1938 / 102min / DCP

Nebbish soon-to-be-wed paleontologist Cary Grant would be perfectly happy to stay home and play with his dinosaur bones, but then Katherine Hepburn’s strident and relentless heiress crash lands into his life with other plans. A whirlwind of deranged comic havoc that sends gags flying off in every direction, Hawks’s family-friendly caper marks perhaps the pinnacle achievement of the screwball comedy, with superb supporting work by a wire-haired terrier and a leapin’ leopard.

Distributor: Walt Disney Studios/20th Century
