| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Bringing Up Baby |
|---|
One of the best screwball comedies of the thirties, Bringing Up Baby showcases the comedic talents of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn as never before. This romantic comedy, which at the time of it's release garnered Hepburn the infamous title of 'Box Office Poison', has become one of the most loved films of all time. The talents of all involved shine through on the screen, through verbal sparring and physical stunts, speeding the viewer along with the characters at break-neck speed. A true cinematic gem!
