Bringing Up Baby is considered to be the ultimate example of a so called screwball comedy, which reached its peak in the 1930s. These movies featured outlandish plots featuring wealthy people subjected to utter chaos carried out at breakneck speed with a lot of witty repartee and romantic tension. Cary Grant starring as a shy paleontologist called David Huxley is hoping for three things which are a rare dinosaur bone fossil, a million dollar research grant, and his marriage to Miss Swallow. Madcap heiress Susan Vance starring by Katharine Hepburn, instantly smitten with David when he objects to her playing his golf ball and driving off in his car, he manages to disrupt his life completely when she asks him to help her transport a leopard named "Baby" to her aunt’s estate in Connecticut. The plot complications include Susan’s dog George taking the irreplaceable bone fossil to bury somewhere which serenading the leopard to get him down from a neighbor’s roof, being thrown in jail, confusing Baby with a vicious circus leopard, and the destruction of the dinosaur skeleton. David does not get his million dollars as it turns out that Susan’s aunt was the prospective donor. However Susan does get it. So at the end everyone lives happily ever after, including Baby.
This big time comedy stars Cary Grant featured as a hapless paleontologist engaged to be married to lovely killjoy Virginia Walker. Grant was tasked with securing a donation from fussbudget May Robson through her exasperated lawyer, George Irving. Grant is continually distracted by the inspired machinations of Katharine Hepburn, a walking train wreck who loves Grant from the beginning and pursues him ruthlessly in novel fashion. In no time, Hepburn has connived Grant into her family home, where he has adventures involving a dinosaur bone and two different leopards. In addition, he also has encounters with the insulting Robson, drunken Irishman Barry Fitzgerald, big game hunter Charles Ruggles. Bringing Up Baby was successful in re-releases and is now generally regarded as one of the Howard Hawks' best comedies. It sets the high standard for a screwball comedy no idea is too far-fetched, no character is too exaggerated, and every situation is ripe for temporary disaster. This movie is manna from heaven for classic film fans who could enjoy not only esteemed leads of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, but wonderfully kooky character performances from Barry Fitzgerald, May Robson and Charles Ruggles.
