Watch: Bringing Up Baby 1938 123movies, Full Movie Online – Mild mannered zoology professor Dr. David Huxley is excited by the news that an intercostal clavicle bone has been found to complete his brontosaurus skeleton, a project four years in the construction. He is equally excited about his imminent marriage to his assistant, the officious Alice Swallow, who is interested in him more for his work than for him as a person. David needs the $1 million endowment of wealthy dowager Mrs. Carleton Random to complete the project. Her lawyer, Alexander Peabody, will make the decision on her behalf, so David needs to get in his favor. However, whenever David tries to make a good impression on Peabody, the same young woman always seems to do something to make him look bad. She is the flighty heiress Susan Vance. The more David wants Susan to go away, the more Susan seems not to want or be able to. But David eventually learns that Alexander Peabody is her good friend, who she calls Boopy, and Susan’s Aunt Elizabeth, with whom David has also made a bad impression without her knowing who he is, is Mrs. Carleton Random. However getting in Aunt Elizabeth and Boopy’s good graces is not as easy as Susan smoothing the waters with them. Throw into the mix a tame pet leopard named Baby that Susan’s brother Mark inexplicably sends her from Brazil, Aunt Elizabeth’s big game hunting friend Major Horace Applegate, Aunt Elizabeth’s pet terrier George who has a penchant for burying bones and other things, and a traveling circus passing through town and David may never be able to finish his project or make it to his wedding. But David may come to the realization that there is something more important in his life..
Plot: David Huxley is waiting to get a bone he needs for his museum collection. Through a series of strange circumstances, he meets Susan Vance, and the duo have a series of misadventures which include a leopard called Baby.

Reviews:

A flop when it was first released in 1938 “Bringing up Baby” is now considered a classic in the screwball genre, a tribute it rightly deserves. Katharine Hepburn has never been funnier in her only foray into this type of zany comedy. And Cary Grant a master of both verbal repartee and skillful pratfalls is pure genius. The plot is both simple and yet defies description. Hepburn plays Susan Vance, a rich society gal who is a beautiful kook determined to land Cary Grant a stuffy paleontologist who is desperately in need of being set free from from his stodgy ways. That Kate does so and much more is the main thrust of the movie. From their first meeting on a golf course to their final declaration of love atop a set of dinosaur bones the picture is nonstop glorious insanity. The script is the apex of wit and director Howard Hawks keeps the pace up at a breakneck speed. I first saw the film as a young boy and was captivated by it. Hardly a year goes by when I have an insatiable urge to enter this upside down world and join in this gleeful romp where leopards run amok in Connecticut,Grant is forced to wear a negligee and Miss Hepburn creates a female heroine that is the epitome of beauty daffy shrewd insanity. Please do yourself a favor and enter this topsy turvy world.

God, I’m knackered…. The sheer pace of this frenetic comedy romance left me breathless without actually leaving my chair (except to turn up the oxygen!). Cary Grant is a typically inept dinosaur man who is just about to install the final bone in his magnificent skeleton of a something-o-saur and get married on the same day… Firstly though, he has to try and tap up the lawyer to a local bigwig for a $1m donation to his museum by playing golf – that’s where he meets a feisty, flighty Katherine Hepburn and soon his ordered life has been thrown under the bus then reversed over… When he discovers that she has a pet leopard “Baby” – it all descends into chaos for them, and their community!. The two stars are in their element and their enjoyment is contagious. The dialogue flows like Niagara falls and there is ample (predictable) fun to be had throughout this enjoyable farce of a story. The yapping dog did get on my nerves after a while, I have to say, and the visual aspects of the comedy are much too slapstick to be appreciated well 80 years on, especially towards the end – but it’s a joyous romp for two stars the like of whom we simply won’t ever see again.

Incredible!
Behind a pair of repressive spectacles, Grant plays the single-minded paleontologist whose path crosses with that of madcap Hepburn, never again to uncross. The plot revolves around a leopard named Baby, a million dollars, an intercostal clavicle bone, a dog named George who buries it….well, it all makes perfect sense while you’re watching.

Underneath all the antics, Hawks never loses sight of the pastoral romance that Bringing Up Baby at its core really is (at its most magical in the woods under a full moon, and captured by Russell Metty’s lovely photography). Grant’s been rooting around in the dirt for so long looking for dinosaur bones that it takes him forever to ‘get’ Hepburn – an airborne sprite who never comes down to earth. (Their alchemy here is rarefied, not the commoner sort of reaction they kindled in the stage-bound The Philadelphia Story.)

“I don’t want another lunatic in my family, I’ve got enough”.
The very essence of screwball comedy, “Bringing Up Baby” may be even more frenetic than Cary Grant’s 1940 vehicle “His Girl Friday”, especially in the second half of the story. There’s no question Grant went out on a shaky limb with his antics here; where else would you see a leading man risk his reputation by dressing up in a feathery negligee? And did I hear this right – his response to Aunt Elizabeth (May Robson) on why he had the nightgown on – “Because I just went gay all of a sudden”! Probably one of the earliest uses of the term to denote a sexual preference in film, not to enter the popular vernacular for at least another couple of decades.

Katherine Hepburn is surprisingly funny and witty as Susan Vance, and dare I say it, actually attractive compared to her more mature roles opposite Spencer Tracy later in her career. I’m not sure if she might have been the best choice to play opposite Grant though; mentally I was picturing Rosalind Russell or Ann Sheridan in the role. But you have to admit, her comic timing kept up with Grant and may have passed him by a couple of times, so whatever director Hawks did to coach her through it worked splendidly.

As for Baby, I was once again amazed how a picture of the era put one over on the viewing audience. It was common enough in jungle films featuring characters like Tarzan and Jungle Jim to challenge geographical integrity by regularly referencing animals to locations where they did not belong, such as tigers in Africa. At least here, the story line prefaced Baby’s arrival with a letter from Susan’s brother in Brazil, so when the ‘leopard’ later turned out to be a jaguar I wasn’t surprised. Actually, it looked like both a leopard and a jaguar were used in the picture. The Baby wrestling with George, the intercostal clavicle stealing pooch, was a jaguar, identifiable by those spots within the larger dark circular rings on the body. A leopard’s ‘spots’ don’t share the same characteristics, so unless Baby did a quick wardrobe change, there had to be more than one.

Notwithstanding the obvious physical humor and improbable situations, it’s almost impossible to miss the obvious anatomical references played to the hilt with every mention of the word ‘bone’. Not only was Grant’s character misrepresented by the unfortunate name, but he seemed to be having a lot of fun while on the chase for the elusive brontosaurus piece – “My bone. It’s rare. It’s precious. What did you do with it”? How many takes do you think it took to get through those scenes?

You know, there was something very predictable about the finale when Susan Vance climbed the ladder in the final scene. I was fully expecting that bronto skeleton to wind up in a pile on the museum floor, but not the way Cary Grant made the save with Hepburn swinging at the end of his arm. Could that have been the inspiration for Schwarzenneger and Jamie Lee Curtis in “True Lies”?
