Description

Bringing Up Baby (RKO, 1938). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant made four films together, all of which are outstanding classics: The Philadelphia Story, Sylvia Scarlett, Holiday, and this screwball comedy, which is perhaps the most popular film of the genre. The fast-paced dialogue (a specialty of both performers), non-stop chase scenes, and general hilarious confusion combine to make this an enjoyable treat from start to finish. A highlight in all the fun chaos is the running theme song, "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" which must be sung to calm "Baby." This one sheet has had professional restoration to address fold wear and a corner chip. There is a small surface abrasion in the bottom left, and the linen has been trimmed to the edge of the poster. It is in marvelous condition, featuring portraits of the stars and a delightful caricature of Hepburn and Grant feeding their "Baby" leopard. A rarely seen gem, this is always a popular item for collectors. Very Fine- on Linen.
