Review of Bringing up Baby

I really liked this movie.

The real star of the show is Katherine Hepburn. She is astoundingly funny. The sense of humour is quite modern compared to comedies from this period, and it all gets pumped into her character. The leopard doesn't play as big a role in the show as the posters suggest, it is merely a part of the weirdness that constitutes Katherine Hepburn's character.

If there is one thing I will take with me from this movie forever, it is the gardener character. He's hilarious, wandering about mumbling about how if one more thing upsets him it will drive him to drink, and everything upsets him. Love it.

The show collapses just a little bit near the end at the police station when Katherine Hepburn starts pretending to be a gangstress, but other than that the show blew me away, considering when it was made.
