Bringing up Baby

We have discovered the couple we are renting from has a good taste in old film classics. Amber, the wife, has had a constant stream of oldies but goodies such as ‘Rear Window’ and ‘Wait until Dark’ coming in from Netflix.

‘Bringing up Baby’ is a 1938 movie with Cary Grant and Catherine Hepburn, their first of three films together. It is a comedy with Grant as an engaged nerdy paleontologist who meets Catherine Hepburn, an eccentric young women, who is instantly infatuated with him. Everything Hepburn meddles in turn aria including Grants life. I won’t give any more of the plot away. We weren’t sure what to expect when we sat down to watch it. However, we were surprised to find ourselves laughing through a majority of it and joyously entertained at the conclusion. I feel confident recommending it to those who can appreciate a good comedy or an old classic.

Any other classics people would recommend?

I think I will have to check out this movie. . . if I can find it. I love old classics. You don't have to worry about what you'll see or hear.
