Bringing Up Baby screening (2015-Jul-27 @ 1:30 p.m.)
2015-Jul-27 @ 13:30 - 15:12
The Dryden will screen one of my personal favorites, Bringing Up Baby (Howard Hawks, U.S. 1938, 102 min., 35mm).
In the mother of all screwball comedies, Cary Grant stars as a stuffy paleontologist who knows more about dinosaurs than he does about the modern woman. This makes him easy prey for wacky heiress Katharine Hepburn who gets her man involved in a series of increasingly funny disasters. Director Hawks, a master of all genres, provided a template for comedy directors for years to come, and it still holds up beautifully.
