Watchability: 0
It's a comedy of manners but Katharine Hepburn's character is so annoying and Cary Grant is so unbelievable as a bumbling scientist that Bringing Up Baby is just an exercise in frustration. No need to catch this flick even for historic purposes--both leads have much better films to choose.

Read the trivia on imdb.com for entertaining tidbits on this one. It's too difficult to watch the movie itself which is the exact opposite of our preference for comedies! Katharine Hepburn looks older than she's supposed to be and her character is so rude that we can't overcome it and even if we did, there isn't much else to enjoy with a near lack of plot furthered only by an escaped pet leopard and Cary Grant's character being held hostage.
The good news is, it's only a little over an hour and a half long! So, it's crap but it's quick crap!
If you're really craving comedy of manners, snuggle up to a good episode of Frasier instead.
