Bringing Up Baby (1938)A rare jewel that lives up to the trailers copy, "The most glorious laughter-inducing movie ever!" This is just good, clean, wholesome, fast and furious fun. Bordering on comedic anarchy, this is a romantic comedy with Cary Grant, underrated for his physical comedy on great display here, and Katherine Hepburn, who plays against type and is just plain whimsical. Slapstick, physical comedy, intelligent and non-stop dialogue, with great sight gags make up a movie with no pretensions except fun. The only objection may be the incessant lies that Kate's character is prone to tell. However, as my youngest daughter said, "That is a good reason not to tell lies, because it just makes everything totally confusing!" (Watch the trailer.)
