Mrs. Random: Well, you look perfectly idiotic in those clothes.
David Huxley: These aren't my clothes.
Mrs. Random: Well, where are your clothes?
David Huxley: I've lost my clothes!
Mrs. Random: But why are you wearing *these* clothes?
David Huxley: Because I just went gay all of a sudden!

Posted: 2/25/05 at 9:43pmIt's a fun movie if you can get past the awful special effects. It's obvious that the leopard is never actually on screen with the stars.

Posted: 2/25/05 at 9:52pmIt truly is a classic. I'm so glad the DVD is finally coming out. I pre-ordered it in, like, December.

I LOVE this movie. I think is was one of the first Cary Grant movies I ever saw as a little girl, and it was love at first sight.

Posted: 2/25/05 at 11:58pmI think what's interesting to note is that WHAT'S UP, DOC? is a virtual remake of BRINGING UP BABY--even to Ryan O'Neal wearing the same type of horn-rimmed glasses that Cary Grant does.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 12:22amyeah what's up doc was originally more like bringing up baby and called something like "the eye of the tiger" or something and was elliot gould's project. it went through a lot of script changes before it got to babs and became what's up doc- but bring up baby is a million times funnnier! and the lepoard was on screen with katharine sometimes, i think. obviously not the whole time but they did do scenes together. i love when cary falls off the ladder and the dino fossils collapse...

No, Feinstein9, it's not exactly true. It was called "The Eye Of The Tiger" and was Gould's project alright, but it was a totally different script. Only when Peter Bogdanovich had Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal, he decided to turn it into a homage to "Bringing Up Baby". I think it came out alright in the end..
I do love "Bringing Up Baby" so. It's one of the best.
I'm really glad it's coming out on DVD -I already have my other favorite screwball comedy, "The Awful Truth", on DVD, and now all I need is for someone to issue "My Favorite Wife"and I'll be set.

Posted: 2/26/05 at 7:20pmI just want to say, there is a scene in Dirty Rotten that reminds me very much of this movie.
