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 greatest screwball comedy
Added 11/18/2009

Howard Hawks delivered the best screwball comedy ever made (in my opinion) with Bringing Up Baby. The film has been very underrated until recently (except for France where I think Truffaut and others brought light to it), but now has been given a spotlight that I think is much deserved. The absurdities in this film are so well dealt with by Hawks, that I cannot help but be captured every time I am able to see it. Absolutely genius.

Laughter is the best medicine and this is the pharmacy

If I were to make a list of the best comedy films of all time, "Bringing Up Baby" would be #1 on the list. Followed by "Arsnic And Old
Lace" and "Way Out West".
This is a perfect example of the screwball comedies of the late 30s and early 40s.
Grant makes a perfect straight man for Hepburn`s character. Other reviews blow by blow details of the film, I`ll just say that if
laughter really is the best medicine, this should cure just about anything.

Bringing Up Baby- The best screwball comedy of all time! I wrote a speech on this movie this summer and it earned me an A. I felt that earned me the right to finally purchase one of my favorite movies. If you haven't seen it yet, it's high time you see it. It is definitely worth it!

Mindless, pointless, irritating...

Katharine Hepburn is extremely annoying in this movie. The plot seems to come from nowhere. Overall bad movie... it gets better toward the end though... still a VERY stupid movie.
