Bringing Up Baby is a 1938 American screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. The movie tells the story of a scientist winding up in various predicaments involving a woman with a unique sense of logic and a leopard named Baby. The supporting cast includes Charles Ruggles, Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Catlett, and May Robson.
Adapted by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde from a story by Wilde, Bringing Up Baby was an infamous box office catastrophe, causing Hawks to be fired from his next RKO film (Gunga Din, also starring Cary Grant) and forcing Hepburn to buy out her contract. As time went on, however, the movie gained more and more attention[citation needed] and is now revered as a sophisticated classic decades ahead of its time[clarification needed], and it continues to generate revenue for Hepburn's estate[citation needed].

It's hilarious. The dinner scene with Major Applegate is priceless. Or when they're singing I can't give you anything but love baby. And of course 'I just went gay all of a sudden!'
