Bringing Up Baby (1938)

In the heart of the Stuyvesant Museum of Natural History, the mild-mannered Dr. David Huxley, a dedicated zoology professor, stands on the precipice of professional glory. His four-year labor to construct a complete brontosaurus skeleton hinges on the final piece of the puzzle—an intercostal clavicle bone. Simultaneously, his personal life is poised to transition with his imminent marriage to his practical assistant, Alice Swallow, who seems more enamored with his work than with him. David's dual dreams teeter on the edge of a million-dollar endowment from the wealthy dowager Mrs. Carleton Random. Her verdict entrusted to her lawyer, Alexander Peabody, David finds himself caught in a whirlwind of comical mishaps as he attempts to win Peabody's favor. His well-meaning efforts are constantly thwarted by the flighty heiress Susan Vance, who seems to be everywhere he goes, inadvertently making him look like a fool. Unbeknownst to David, Susan interprets his conflicted behavior as a sign of hidden affection, and she becomes determined to win his love and keep him from marrying Alice. This leads to a chaotic journey as David finds himself whisked away in Susan's car, tasked with transporting her tame pet leopard, Baby, to her Aunt Elizabeth's farm in Connecticut. In a twist of fate, Susan's Aunt Elizabeth is revealed to be Mrs. Carleton Random, the very donor David has been seeking. David's professional pursuit collides with personal chaos as he navigates a labyrinth of misunderstandings, a nocturnal animal chase, Aunt Elizabeth's big game hunting friend Major Horace Applegate, and a bone-burying terrier named George, all while a traveling circus creates pandemonium in town. As David's world spirals out of control, he may find that amidst the eccentricity and chaos lies something far more important than his project or his practical marriage. In the comedic whirlwind of 'Bringing Up Baby,' he might just discover the wild, unpredictable nature of love.
