“Bringing Up Baby” is as described, frantic, fast, and noisy. You do not have time to get your breath. All the actors are at their best. There is a storyline and a consistency that keep this movie from being a bunch of one-liners.
David Huxley (Cary Grant) is a paleontologist who has an important finding. He crosses paths with Susan Vance (Katherine Hepburn), who is not all there but very witty. Susan has a secret "Baby", her pet leopard.
One of the themes is mistaking Baby for another, more dangerous leopard that escaped from captivity. Many movies did this with black bags. However, bags don't bite. And again, every time Carry Grant gets mixed up with Katharine, something inevitably goes wrong, and this snowballs as the movie progresses. The movie moves fast enough that you may want to watch it again.
