Dana and Tom welcome back Christine Duncan to discuss the screwball comedy, Bringing Up Baby (1938): directed by Howard Hawks, written by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde, starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.

Plot Summary: "Bring Up Baby" is a delightful screwball comedy about David Huxley (Cary Grant) a paleontologist who is about to marry his prudish fiancee Alice Swallow (Virginia Walker) and needs to secure a one million dollar donation to complete his museum project. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he meets the free-spirited and impulsive Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn) who repeatedly and accidentally introduces chaos into his life.

After a series of misunderstandings and misadventures, Susan decides to court David leading to a hilarious and chaotic series of events that involve a golf course, a jail break, a missing bone and mistaken identities. Along the way, David and Susan fall in love, but their differences threaten to keep them apart.

Director Howard Hawks' masterful direction and the outstanding chemistry between Grant and Hepburn make this film a timeless classic. Grant delivers a pitch-perfect performance as the uptight scientist who learns to loosen up and enjoy life, while Hepburn shines as the eccentric heiress who relentlessly pursues him. The film's fast-paced dialogue, zany antics and witty one-liners make for a joyful and entertaining ride that will leave you laughing out loud. "Bringing Up Baby" is a true gem of the Golden Age of Hollywood and a must-see for anyone who loves classic comedies.
