Bringing Up Baby
Directed by Howard Hawks
1938
★ 7.1 editorial score
Nobody talks faster than this: Hawks overlapped every line until the dialogue becomes a physical event, and it did badly enough that exhibitors called Hepburn box office poison.
“Katharine Hepburn, as the heiress who goes after her man once she spots him, contributes one of her most invigorating screen characterizations as a madcap deb. Cary Grant, the zoology professor who thinks more of recovering the priceless missing bone for his uncompleted brontosaurus than his impending wedding and the companionship of the playful heiress, performs his role to the hilt.”
