Bringing Up Baby
Classic comedy about a madcap heiress (Katharine Hepburn) who makes a shambles of an absent-minded palaeontologist's life when she arrives on the scene with her pet leopard.
Classic screwball comedy about a madcap heiress who makes a shambles of an absent-minded palaeontologist's life when she arrives on the scene complete with her pet leopard. The film's rollercoaster plot formed the basis for 1972's What's Up, Doc? and is notable for Katharine Hepburn's foray into zany comedy.
