Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Here’s what you need to know about Bringing Up Baby: there’s a real-life leopard in it who interacts with real-life actors. Yes, there are some shots where “Baby” is by herself, or interacts with her trainer, but for the most part, Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant hang out with a wildcat in front of the camera. Unless you love screwball comedies, that’s the only reason to watch this flick.
Cary Grant plays a bespectacled, nerdy professor pursued by silly society girl Kate, and time after time he gets roped into her madcap adventures involving Baby the Leopard. My favorite scene is when Cary’s working in his museum up on a high ladder next to a dinosaur skeleton. Kate visits him and winds up holding onto his hand for dear life as she dangles off the ladder! The other famous scene is the meet-cute. Kate and Cary are at a restaurant and they both manage to tear their evening clothes in pretty embarrassing places. It’s rather silly, setting the tone for the rest of the film.
I’m not really a fan of this type of ridiculous romantic comedy, so I didn’t really like this movie. Without Baby, the film wouldn’t be famous at all and would be forgotten along with the Kate-Cary flick Holiday. If you like screwball classics, you’ll like this one, but I didn’t.
