Film Synopsis
Bringing Up Baby (1938) presents a paleontologist preparing for marriage while attempting to complete a dinosaur skeleton and secure funding for his museum. His plans unravel when an impulsive heiress involves him in transporting her tame leopard and a dog disappears with the skeleton’s final bone. This screwball comedy subjects its methodical protagonist to an increasingly chaotic collision of rapid dialogue, physical comedy and romantic confusion.
