BRINGING UP BABY
■
TCM, Noon
Catch a Classic! Director Howard Hawks’ classic 1938 screwball comedy is one of the pinnacles of that movie genre prevalent during the 1930s and early ’40s, truly living up to the “screwball” descriptor with its series of wild situations delivered with impeccable comic timing by Hawks, and stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Grant plays stodgy paleontologist David Huxley, who is attempting to find the last bone for a brontosaurus skeleton while also looking for a large grant for his museum. Huxley catches the eye of flighty, fun-loving heiress Susan Vance (Hepburn), who proceeds to undo his wellordered existence in hilariously irritating (and, ultimately, endearing) ways, with the assistance of her pet leopard, Baby.
