Bringing Up Baby

Howard Hawks captured lightning in a bottle with his casting of Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in what may be the greatest screwball comedy of all time. Grant plays a straight-laced paleontologist eager for a million-dollar endowment from Hepburn, a scatterbrained but wealthy socialite. In order to seal the deal, Grant must accompany the madcap heiress to her country home the day before his wedding with her pet leopard, Baby, in tow.
