Howard Hawks directs Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Charles in this screwball comedy where while trying to secure a $1 million donation for his museum, a befuddled paleontologist is pursued by a flighty and often irritating heiress and her pet leopard, Baby.

Further Complications: The Movie. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Hepburn has never been sexier, fast talking vivacious. We rip off the back of a dress. Sing to a cheetah. Pretend to be a gangster. Ride a brontosaurus as it falls apart. Rat-a-tat-tat magic.
