For those of you who are regular readers of this blog, you're probably wondering if we've given up on our list or something. No, we haven't given up, we've just been working opposite schedules lately and it's been hard to find a night when we are home together to watch a movie. At any rate, last Saturday we finally got around to our next movie, Bringing Up Baby. It's a classic screwball comedy, although at the time it came out, not many people were excited to see it. The introduction to the movie mentioned that no one was seeing Katherine Hepburn movies at the time and the movie was basically a box office flop. There's tons more trivia on the Internet Movie Database (see the link in my sidebar). Bringing up Baby came in at spot 97 on the AFI list.
So, first of all, here's a basic introduction to the plotline in case you've not seen it yet. Talk about your rough day. Dr. David Huxley is trying to play a game of golf with the legal advisor to a wealthy lady who may make a large donation to Huxley's museum. On the course, Huxley meets Susan, a ditzy young woman, who talks a lot. She basically attaches herself to David even though he is engaged to be married. When Susan receives a leopard from her brother, David's life is suddenly not his own. What follows next is a series of truly comical events. I literally laughed hysterically every five minutes.
I highly reccommend this movie. It gets a thumbs up from both of us for fantastic acting, hilarious hijinks, a cute dog named George and of course Baby, the leopard. Stay tuned for a review of Gone With the Wind. As a teaser, here's a question for you. Will this be the first move my husband and I give conflicting "thumb ratings" to?
Happy movieing :)
