Happy Birthday, Archie Leach!
I think it was in May when I first saw Bringing Up Baby. Maybe it was June. It’s strange that I don’t remember, since Bringing Up Baby was a lot of firsts for me. To start, it was my first screwball comedy – every old movie I’d watched before then was a film noir. I’m grateful for that. Screwball comedies are one of my favorite genres of movies. It was also my first movie with Katharine Hepburn. I mean, that’s pretty damn important, since Katharine Hepburn is very important. (Yay Katie!) And then there was Katie’s co-star, the man playing David. It was my first movie of his, too.
