In Detail

Bogdanovich pays tribute to Howard Hawks’s ‘Bringing Up Baby’ and to the freewheeling catastrophe comedy of silent films, with their elaborate and terrifying stunts.

Howard (Ryan O’Neil) is engaged to Eunice (Madeline Kahn) but then he meets Judy (Streisand), a flyaway force of nature, who falls in love with him at first sight and plugs herself instantly into his life, endangering his engagement as well as his career. One of the great, if semi-forgotten comedy masterpieces of the 1970s.
