  • Reviews

    "It's hard to believe that Hawks' lunatic screwball comedy, one of the genre's best, with top-notch turns by Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, was underrated by critics and a commercial flop; history proves otherwise." — Emmanuel Levy, EmmanuelLevy.comhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=727

    "Though it's almost impossible, try to sit back sometime and enjoy this 1938 Howard Hawks masterpiece not only for its gags, but for the grace of its construction, the assurance of its style, and the richness of its themes." — Dave Kehr, Chicago ReaderChicago Reader: [http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/bringing-up-baby/Film?oid=1071411
