Bringing Up Baby (Howard Hawks, 1938)


One of the screwiest of the screwball comedies, this film is entirely worth it for the wonderfully madcap performances of Katharine Hepburn and, especially, Cary Grant, who plays uptight and mild-mannered as well as it's ever been played in a comedy.

This being my first Cinemension post, I wanted to provide a better video clip, but most of the good scenes that are on Youtube have the embedding disabled.  Fortunately, the entire film is available to stream legally on Youtube, so enjoy!
