Bringing Up Baby (1938)

This movie staring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, directed by Howard Hawks was a cute film and very enjoyable to watch. The chemistry between Cary and Katharine is great. Cary plays a bumbling awkward chap and Katharine plays the always-in-your-face dear who doesn't know better, one would say it's fate?
The whole film revolves around Katharine getting in the way of Cary, ruining his established life as a zoologist and his soon to be marriage. The film goes from hijink, to misadventure, to zanky, wacky fun. This is probably one of Hawks best films!
Personally, I don't know how audiences back then could take this constant intake of wild affairs; these screwball comedies really have a knack for overwhelming their audiences, I'd say they're the equivalent of channel-surfing and trying to catch all the content of each channel. This style does make for good fun if you can stomach it; another way to put it, it's like a verbal rollercoaster ride in low-fi black and white, gotta love the vintage look.
This film does Cary Grant a lot of justice, he's so charming and handsome, I'm not surprised that Katharine didn't keep her mitts off him . He never holds a grudge against Katharine also, even though there are many trying times throughout the film. Katharine, from the very beginning, rubbed me the wrong way. She's the hyperbole of irritating girls everywhere (I know i fit in this category sometimes, geez, this is a lesson of how not to develop your personality).
I wasn't convinced at the end when Cary finally told Katherine he loved her. It was right after she ignorantly ruined the dinosaur display that he was working on for 4 odd years or so. He must have been thinking she'll finally shut up if I just go along with what she wants (after all it didn't look like his life was going anywhere after she entered it).
Anyway, I definitely recommend this film for anyone looking for a slick screwball comedy. On my personal reflection I have to say that it is better than past films of this genre that I have seen.
