Film Screening of "Bringing Up Baby" with discussion
Location: Venue at Daystar - 1550 S. State Street
February 11, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Bringing Up Baby (1938) Katharine Hepburn is Susan Vance, a rich heiress who becomes infatuated with a mild-mannered paleontologist named David Huxley (Cary Grant). What follows is a roller coaster ride of madcap adventures all initiated by Susan with the weak-willed David along for the ride as her not-so-willing accomplice. And then there's dog named George and that leopard named Baby! Director Howard Hawks's pacing is frenetic. The action and dialogue is nonstop. Don't be surprised if you're exhausted after watching this film...but you'll be smiling, we guarantee it.
