I could listen to this Mid Atlantic accent for hours. I could watch Hepburn and Grant for hours. The older Grant is much more handsome though. He is still great. The movie is almost 90 years old. I find this peek into a bygone era extremely intriguing. Despite it's age, it's still very entertaining and funny. A classic screwball comedy. Plus, they have a leopard. Two leopards actually. Not since *The Hangover* I had that much fun with a big cat in a screwball comedy. Plus, cute George... PS: Unfortunately, the version I watched wasn't as good as I'm used to. It was a strange 4:3 version in TV quality. Usually b/w movies from that era look much crispier.

Too frantic. Too shrill. The change from Katherine to Rosalind Russell for His Girl Friday was perfect - "now she had real gumption". The use of a leopard shows how times have changed! But the dog barking was irritating as all hell. 6/10

God, I'm knackered.... The sheer pace of this frenetic comedy romance left me breathless without actually leaving my chair (except to turn up the oxygen!). Cary Grant is a typically inept dinosaur man who is just about to install the final bone in his magnificent skeleton of a something-o-saur and g More

A wacky, quick-lipped comedy from Howard Hawks, which foreshadows the director's sharper, later work on _His Girl Friday_. _Bringing Up Baby_ follows a tightly-wound paleontologist (Cary Grant), out of his element on a fundraising mission, who crosses paths with an accident-prone chatterbox socialit More

A flop when it was first released in 1938 "Bringing up Baby" is now considered a classic in the screwball genre, a tribute it rightly deserves. Katharine Hepburn has never been funnier in her only foray into this type of zany comedy. And Cary Grant a master of both verbal repartee and skillful pratf More
