This interesting screwball comedy was created by Howard Hawks and it was staring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. It was produced in 1938 by Cliff Reid and Howard Hawks and was not very popular at all, it even got Howard fired from his next film! Later on to this day, it is rated top 100 greatest movie in america as well as the 15th funniest of all time! The main story of "Bringing Up Baby" is a paleontologist named David Huxley(Cary Grant) is trying to get a large donation from Mrs. Random(May Robson) for his museum. Along the way he meets with Susan Vance(Katherine Hepburn) who is a great threat to David recieving a donation money because she causes trouble for him around every corner. Susan askes for help to bring a leopard named Baby, sent by her brother Mark, to her Aunt, which is Mrs. Random. It is a crazy mixed-up film which will keep you saying "What the heck!?"
My vision of this weird film is that it was not too bad. At some points, this movie got me thinking "This girl Susan is messing up David's whole life, she is realy annoying!" but overall, i did enjoy this movie. At some times it was very comedic, but at other times it was iritating to listen to all the fighting and how everybody was talking at the same time. It was entertaining and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if David was going to succeed or fail miserably. I recomend this movie to classical comedy lovers and crazy people. I would rate this movie 3.7 out of 5 Coca Cola bottles.
