Bringing Up Baby

In Howard Hawks’ rapid-fire screwball classic, Cary Grant plays a harried paleontologist on the eve of his wedding, who captures the attention of a high-spirited heiress (an irrepressible Katherine Hepburn) and her pet leopard, igniting a series of uproariously madcap comic misadventures. Featuring effervescent chemistry between the leads, nimble pacing and a high-speed script that continually tops itself, Bringing Up Baby is a hilarious masterwork for the ages.

“[Bringing Up Baby] is one of the finest screwball comedies ever. Fast, furious and very, very funny.” – Geoff Andrew, Time Out

“[Bringing Up Baby] is a total delight and the performances are so invigorating that it can withstand many multiple viewings without losing its sparks.” – The Hollywood Reporter
