Screwball sparks fly when Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn let loose in one of the fastest and funniest films—a high-wire act of invention that took American screen comedy to new heights of absurdity.
Hoping to procure a million-dollar endowment from a wealthy society matron for his museum, a hapless paleontologist (Grant) finds himself entangled with a dizzy heiress (Hepburn) as the manic misadventures pile up—a missing dinosaur bone, a leopard on the loose, and plenty of gender-bending mayhem among them.
Bringing Up Baby’s sophisticated dialogue, spontaneous performances, and giddy innuendo come together in a whirlwind of comic chaos captured with lightning-in-a-bottle brio by director Howard Hawks.
From the gumball bottom to the cherry on top, QFT is having a Screwball Summer. We are celebrating the fast-talking farce of the screwball comedy with a season guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.
