The two biggest most glamorous movie stars in the world rolling around in the mud, splashing in the river, singing at the top of their lungs, being absolutely silly and delivering complex dialogue at a mile a minute. Brilliant. I love all these old movies. I used to watch the classic movie channels while raising my babies.

The first time I watched this I had never laughed so much watching a film. I absolutely love Katharine Hepburn as well and this performance is one of her best. Cary Grant as well puts in a stellar performance as usual. The Philadelphia Story (1940) also stars Hepburn and Grant along with James Stewart and is also very funny as well and well worth a watch.

I was in a film course in my junior year in college in the early 90's. We were looking at different film genres, and this was our introduction to screwball comedy. So here we are, a bunch of smart-aleck college kids, watching this sixty-year-old movie... and every last one of us is screaming, rocking back and forth, holding our sides laughing. It was, and still is, one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, possibly THE funniest.

It's a movie that respects each character, which in turn makes me respect the movie a lot.

Watched this as a child, it was a hoot and a half. Cary Grant was in a number of comedies, and Katherine Hepburn was already one of my favorite actresses when I watched it.And, Skippy/Asta, one of the greatest animal thespians in cinematic history, such charisma. I highly recommend The Philadelphia Story, as it has both Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn as well as James Stewart in it. Other great movies you will enjoy: His Girl Friday, Mt. Blandings Builds his Dream House, His Girl Friday, My Man Godfrey, The Thin Man collection, and Topper. Thanks for the reaction and all those trivia bits at the end, it was very enjoyable. Have a wonderful day. Oh, one more thing that my father taught me. Way back when, certain men wore green and yellow flowers on their lapel (although green and yellow colors were also used) to show that they were looking for the company of other men without being overly obvious. Green And Yellow would become shortened to the three letter word that YT doesn't like in the comments section.

Many impressionists primarily in the 50s and 60s would (for some reason) do Cary Grant impression by saying, "Judy. Judy. Judy" in his voice/accent. But, just like the line, "play it again, Sam" which was never said by Bogart in any move, it became a standard impression of both of these actors.

When I was a child in the 1950s, I saw this movie on television. In those days, there wasn't that much television content in the afternoons, so many channels played old films. My local station had daily theme films. Mondays were western films, Tuesdays were dramas, Wednesdays were comedies, etc. I grew to love these classic comedies. Another good Hepburn-Grant film is,"The Philadelphia Story", also starring James Stewart. In the scene when the couple were driving with Baby in the back seat, the lighting on the leopard is too bright compared to the actors, that's why it looks off.

First time I saw “Bringing Up Baby” was on TV in 1976. My brother and I were in tears we were laughing so hard! I recommend The Philadelphia Story - also with Grant and Hepburn (and Jimmy Stewart as well). It’s also a comedy, but not “screwball.” Based on a sophisticated Broadway play by Philip Barry, the characters Grant and Hepburn play couldn’t be more different than the ones they play in Baby. Another brilliant Hawks screwball comedy with Cary Grant (this time paired with Rosalind Russell) is His Girl Friday - it’s my favorite Howard Hawks movie! I love your channel. Your reactions are terrific and I appreciate the research you put into the videos! Thank you!

Howard in _What's Up, Doc?_ is named after Howard Hawks, and Judy calls him "Steve," which is what Hawks' wife, Slim, called him -- and also, in Hawks film, _To Have and Have Not,_ Lauren Bacall calls Humphrey Bogart's character, Harry Morgan "Steve" (for no particular reason) and he calls her "Slim." Peter Bogdanovich, the director of _What's Up Doc?_ interviewed Hawks and did a book on him. Bogdanovich was involved with Cybill Shepherd at one point, and she said they watched a lot of old movies. When she was meeting with Glenn Gordon Caron to talk about doing the TV series, _Moonlighting,_ she told him it was a Hawksian comedy. Caron didn't know what she was talking about, but she was dead right. I think "Judy Judy Judy" was a comedian (maybe Larry Storch) doing a bit about Cary Grant meeting Judy Garland, which then, of course, became popular with imitators. That may be apocryphal too, though.

Universal Pictures forgot to use the word , ‘Copyright’ or the copyright symbol anywhere in the credits - something that was necessary in order to copyright a US film before laws were changed in 1975 There are probably a number of different copies on youtube to chose from, if you ever want to do a video.

That was an instance where I watched the remake first and fell in love with the feel of the movie. And while the original with Audrey is a cute film as well, it doesn't have the same "hug" "-like feel as the remake. Oh! Another Audrey Hepburn movie very much worth a watch is Wait Until Dark! Such a good suspense film! And How To Steal a Million is a cute movie as well ♥~Caroline

It probably was a double for most of the falling off the bronto scene at the end, but that is Hepburn hanging from Grant's hand: and both she and Grant were actually perfectly capable of performing stunts like that, as both were gifted with lithe, flexible, athletic bodies and abilities. If you see "Holiday" and "Sylvia Scarlett", you'll see them in action ... in "Holiday" briefly; more often in "Sylvia Scarlett", which is an odd, eccentric movie and story. I like it very much but can see how others might not.

Regarding the composite shots with the leopard, what you are seeing but are not quite able to articulate is that the blacks have different opacities, so the shadows on one element aren’t as dark as the rest of the shot.
