Baby and Bringing It Up
An interesting combination of two characters played by Catherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. One being the manipulative, arrogant, ditzy rich girl, the other an under-spoken, belittled scientist. These two characters play the main parts within the movie and quite frankly, it's one heck of a pair. Throughout the movie, much physical humor or slapstick comedy is used in order to show an example as to what comedies were back in the day. Of course back then the comedy wasn't as explicit as it is today, there are certain references as to how comedy was hidden. Certain parts of the film were quite interesting as to what the characters went through in order to resolve several conflicts. One of such would be how the original leopard, the tame oned named Baby, had gotten lost and thus the characters had to search for it. In doing so however, they release an untamed vicious leopard and mistaken it for Baby causing such an uproar within the movie when they finally find out. In their search, the two characters go through many situations together so perfectly it'd seem as though they were fit for eachother but that is not the case. Instead, they are both nearly complete opposites of each other and when they are working together, chaos erupts. Susan, played by Hepburn, causes such ruckesses that David (Grant) has no other option but to accept it and move on. Throughout the movie, these pair of opposites get into a numerous amount of errors mainly being caused by Susan's mistakes and careless attitude resulting in a terrible misunderstanding at the end of the movie. Overall the movie was quite an interesting ruckus that really makes the viewer think about differences of movies from back then and today.

The movie sounds interesting.I can see how this movie falls into the screwball comedie genre. I still feel like it is not as good as His Girl Friday. To bad for you!!
I agree with your last comment. The movies back in 1938 and movies today are a lot different, especially in what is allowed to be shown.
