Stodgy, affianced paleontologist David Huxley (Cary Grant) had his worries between finding the last bone for a brontosaur skeleton and wheedling a six-figure grant for his museum. He then caught the interested eye of flighty, fun-loving society gal Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn), who proceeded to undo his ordered existence-with some aid from a tame leopard named Baby. Howard Hawks' dismissed-in-it's-day screwball classic co-stars Charles Ruggles, May Robson, Barry Fitzgerald. 102 min.
