...Baby. One of the all-time great screwball comedies. Cary Grant stars as a shy, befuddled paleontologist whose placid existence is completely upset by a one-woman whirlwind. Katherine Hepburn is the whirlwind, a rich, young New Yorker who enlists Grant's aid in caring for Baby, her pet leopard. Kate and Cary spend two hours ostensibly chasing Baby, Kate's dog George, and a bone Grant needs to complete a dinosaur skeleton; Kate, of course, is on the prowl for bigger game.

The red gas stove is certainly milked for all its comic absurdity, yet Yves Montand cannot do with it half of what Buster Keaton did with a simple pair of bicycle handlebars in Sherlock Jr. Director Jean Paul Rappeneau seems to understand the basic atmospheric conditions...
