Bringing up Baby

The more I watch Katherine Hepburn the more I can't help but love her, even given the idiotic role she plays here. Again, as in her other Cary Grant pairing on the AFI list Philadelphia Story, she plays a rich, spoiled heiress, but in this film she is more naive than entitled, and bratty. It was fun to see Grant in a more goofy role as the nerdy hapless Dr. David Huxley as opposed to his usual suave roles. This movie depends on a bit of slapstick, but the pace moves along at a decent clip, though the plot is brainless.
