"Bringing Up Baby" has been on my list of "to see" films for a long time, and as I had a free evening the other day, I decided to watch it! I'm a great fan of Cary Grant, and I thought he was brilliant as the babbling anthropologist David Huxley, and he made me incessantly giggle throughout the whole film whether or not it was supposed to be funny! In my opinion though, the funniest bit in the whole film was in the party scene quite near the beginning, when Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn) is being taught a trick using olives by the bartender. She was supposed to flick an olive into her mouth, but she missed and it landed on the floor. As she tries to pick up the olive off the floor, you see Cary Grant walk in and slip on the olive and fall flat on his back! It was hilarious! Perfectly timed, and wonderfully well done! I have to admit that I am the sort of person who rewinds certain amusing incidents and watch them over and over again, and I had to watch that bit many times, and it just kept getting funnier each time! If you haven't seen Bringing up Baby, please watch it, as it is really entertaining, and I'm sure you'll love it as I do! It is an impeccably timed screwball-comedy with fine acting performances and hilarious direction from Howard Hawks. Absolutely brilliant; ***** out of 5
