My Review

“Bringing Up Baby” is an over-rated screwball comedy about a paleontologist who is in trouble because he loses a valuable dinosaur bone and somehow gets stuck taking care of a leopard named Baby. It was a failure with critics and the public alike when it was released in 1938 by RKO Radio Pictures. In recent years the film has gained popularity on television and with current movie critics.

“Bringing Up Baby” was in fact over-directed by Howard Hawks (“Scarface” 1932), who was also the producer, and poorly written by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde. The stars of the show are Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Mary Robson, Charles Ruggles, Fritz Feld, and Leona Roberts. Ward Bond, Jack Carson, and Dick Lane were quite visible in uncredited cameo roles. Animal stars include Skippy as Mary Robson’s dog George and Nissa the circus leopard as Baby.
