Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Does it get any more classic than that? I must give props to my wife for introducing me to this lovely comedy from 1938. It is absolutely hilarious, and the humor still stands in today's realm of perverse shock humor. It's clean, good ole fashioned fun. Not to mention it is Black and White which just adds to its allure. It follows a zoologist on the aftermath of the greatest discovery of his career.Dr. David Huxley (Grant), has completed his puzzle by locating the final bone of a brontosaurus dinosaur. Unfortunately David must kiss some butt in order to get the $1 Million he needs to complete the four year project. This is when it gets funny. His biggest problem is a young heiress named Susan Vance (Hepburn). She hasn't a care in the world and every time she opens her mouth, it makes David's case further from getting what it needs. At one point Susan's Aunt's dog buries his prized bone making is case seem completely ridiculous. No bone, no money. Then enter her new pet. A tame leopard named Baby. David is having the worst day ever and it is just full of earned laughs. I would like to see it again, but now...
