Open Air Cinema: Bringing Up Baby (U) at The Box
Advertisement
A pure Hollywood classic with a missing dinosaur bone as a plot device! Screwball sparks fly when Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn let loose in one of the fastest and funniest films ever made. Hoping to procure a million-dollar endowment from a wealthy society matron for his museum, a hapless palaeontologist (Grant) finds himself entangled with a dizzy heiress (Hepburn) as the manic misadventures pile up. Bringing Up Baby’s sophisticated dialogue, spontaneous performances, and giddy innuendo come together in a whirlwind of comic chaos captured with lightning-in-a-bottle brio by director Howard Hawks. A rare treat to see Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn at their absolutely sparkling best.

Dir. Howard Hawks, US, 1937, 103 mins.
Cast. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, May Robson.
