Bringing Up Baby (1938)

We’ve finally left a galaxy far far away for more domestic fare and it’s time for us to revisit one of our most eye opening annual themes. Its MOVIES ARE GAY 2 in which we discuss films made by, and adjacent to, LGBTQ culture. Classic subtext and modern gay classics all month long and we ease in to the month with a screwball classic that flopped in its time but became beloved as a standout amongst its long lost comedic genre. It also stars Carey Grant (gay) who becomes the first person in a feature film to use a common terminology in a very specific way. We’re talking about the wacky Howard Hawks rom-com “BRINGING UP BABY” from 1938 and starring Katherine Hepburn as a wise cracking heiress and Carey Grant as an archaeologist who just wants to get his bone. Also, there is a Leopard involved and it likes dogs. Whattayaknow you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE1O9SwwB1c and there’s a cleaner version of it on Tubi as of this writing.
