Bringing Up Baby?! On Popwatch?! Holy crap! Thank you, Adam for restoring my faith in humanity for one day.
By the way for the image you used this might have been a better quote:
Susan: (stuck in jail) “Anyway, David, when they find out who we are they’ll let us out. ”
David: “When they find out who you are they’ll pad the cell.”
One of the best movies ever. I still want to be Katherine Hepburn when I grow up. She’s the best.
Samantha, don’t get too excited. Anybody on this site posting a black and white classic on Popwatch is obviously suffering from a momentary lapse of reason.
BRINGING UP BABY – still one of the funniest films ever made! WHAT’S UP, DOC? was a definite homage to that one.
“David, what have you done?”
“Oh, you name it, I’ve probably done it!”
Love Love Love this movie.. and Cary.
Cary explaining why he answered the door in a woman’s housecoat: “I’ve gone gay.” I wonder how many late 1930′s audience members had ever heard the word “gay” in that context?
Thank you, Adam! I love this film, Cary Grant AND Katharine Hepburn so it’s extra nice to find it here.
This is still my favorite comedy of all time.
David (to Susan): “Now it isn’t that I don’t like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I’m strangely drawn toward you, but – well, there haven’t been any quiet moments.”
Love Grant and Hepburn and this movie. One of the funniest, ever. Thanks, Adam.
It’s not that they don’t write stuff like this anymore, they just can’t sell it to the studios.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time- I’m so glad to see it quoted here!I would have a hard time just picking one quote to post, though.
Thanks, Adam! This made my day. Not my favorite Grant/Hepburn movie (that would be “The Philadelphia Story”) but right up there.
Josher, Grant WAS rumored to be gay. He was probably making an attempt to come out of the closet and it never occurred to anyone to actually take him seriously.
Eric,
I do know that Popwatch tends to fail quite often, especially with all the Twilight garbage that gets posted like it’s the second coming and the fact that most of the writers here have no real knowledge of pop culture other than what has been on in the last 10 years or so. Which is why I wrote “restoring my faith in humanity for ONE DAY”.
I was pleasantly surprised to see this post, because I thought I was going to see yet another “Stephenie Meyer/Twilight is god” post or another inane post of that sort.
If only Popwatch paid more attention to classic film more often. I’d read it a lot more.
Thank you for posting a classic quote and recognizing how old movies truly beat modern day films. Hepburn and Grant (as usual) are impeccable, and along this isn’t my favorite movie the duo did (that would be 1938′s underrated gem “Holiday”) but it is hysterical. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.
It was my pleasure to visit your Website. I am also very Website you enjoy the article.And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn’t meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your Website can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.http://www.buynikeshoes.com
