Bringing Up Baby (1938) is a versatile director Howard Hawks comedy funny and more often regarded as the definitive movie crazy. It is also one of the funniest, oddest movies and most inspired of all time with its breathless pace characteristically zany antics and pratfalls, absurd situations and misunderstandings, the perfect sense of comic timing, cast completely screwball series of mishaps and wacky crazy, disasters, surprises and light romantic comedy. The non-stop, crackpot farce skewers many institutions, including psychiatry, the sterile field of science, the classes of the police and upper-class upper. At the time of its release, has failed miserably at the box office and was quickly forgotten until revived years later.
As is the case for many of Howard Hawks' finest films (including the movie Scarface Crime (1932) Twentieth Century (1934), His Girl Friday (1940), To Have or not (1944), the thriller The Big Sleep (1946), Monkey Business (1952) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)), this masterpiece has not been nominated for an Academy Award unique. Director Peter Bogdanovich has paid tribute to the Hollywood screwball comedy genre with a loose remake titled What's Up, Doc (1972) with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal.
The fast-paced film is about the relationship of two unlikely people, played by actress Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant actor playing against type in a classic "conflict" between the sexes: a madcap, scheming, aggressive, impulsive, prone to accidents and heir of the company Daffy, and a clumsy, awkward, distracted paleontologist, right, corny and stifling a natural history museum. This was the second of four films co-starring Hepburn and Grant [the others were Sylvia Scarlett (1936), Holiday (1938), and The Philadelphia Story (1940)]. Other characters are a sheriff in a small town, a drunken Irish gardener, a hunter of big game, and two leopards in Brazil.
