Plot: Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant star in this inspired comedy about a madcap heiress with a pet leopard who meets an absent-minded paleontologist and unwittingly makes a fiasco of both their lives. David Huxley (Grant) is the stuffy paleontologist who needs to finish an exhibit on dinosaurs and thus land a $1 million grant for his museum. At a golf outing with his potential benefactors, Huxley is spotted by Susan Vance (Hepburn) who decides that she must have the reserved scientist at all costs. She uses her pet leopard, Baby, to trick him into driving to her Connecticut home, where a dog wanders into Huxley's room and steals the vital last bone that he needs to complete his project. The real trouble begins when another leopard escapes from the local zoo and Baby is mistaken for it, leading Huxley and Susan into a series of harebrained and increasingly more insane schemes to save the cat from the authorities. Inevitably, the two end up in the local jail, where things get even more out of hand: Susan pretends to be the gun moll to David's diabolical, supposedly wanted criminal. Naturally, the mismatched pair falls in love through all the lunacy. Director Howard Hawks delivers a funny, fast-paced, and offbeat story, enlivened by animated performances from the two leads, in what has become a definitive screwball comedy. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide

The MOST fun you could have with a leopard!

I love this movie and I am very excited to have it. I prefer this black and white, I think it is more original to the movie. Sometimes the colored versions are "bright and shiny", and I don't like that.

Katherine Hepburn is at her best in this fast-moving comedy abouta girl who is causing major trouble for a professor who is trying to assemble brontosaurus bones for the museum. Bby is a tame leopard she has received.

A very delightful movie.

Bringing Up Baby seems to be the kind of movie that you either like it or you don't like it. There doesn't seem to be an in between on it. The comedy in this movie is not really meant to be on National Lampoon level, but more of a light-hearted chuckle. I think the chemistry between Grant and Hepburn was amazing and this movie had me laughing the whole way through. Some of the jokes you had to "read in between the lines" and do a little research on the movie to get all the jokes. I think Hepburn was just wonderful in the role of Susan. She reminded me so much of Parker Posey in this. If you are looking for a classic movie that is meant as a light-hearted laugh at silly antics, then you will love this movie.

What a shame that the world isn't like this movie. Silly, harmless people dressed in beautiful cloths caught up in crazy situations. Nobody hurt, nobody harmed and the lovers united. And what costumes! Even in black and white the gowns worn by Miss Hepburn are stunning. Pure escapeism!
