Screwball Comedies were a genre all to themselves in the thirties and early forties, characterized by chaotic situations, misunderstandings, and sharp witty dialogue that flew by so fast the audience (and the characters) had a hard time keeping up. Actresses like Katherine Hepburn, Carole Lombard, and Jean Arthur were the original "Manic Pixie Dream Girls"
Barbara Streisand made a great "manic pixie" in What's Up Doc." There are later attempts to continue the genre, but that was the last great one. I put My Man Godfrey and Philadelphia story as two of the best from its golden era.
@@vapoet Good point. I never thought of What's Up Doc as a screwball comedy before, but it fits, and it's hilarious! I wonder if 9 to 5, Ruthless People, and Outrageous Fortune would count as screwball comedies?
And Cary Grant said he based his portrayal of the professor on the great Harold Lloyd, one of our all-time fantastic stars and filmmakers starting in the silent era. Part of the Big 4 of early film comic geniuses, Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Roscoe Arbuckle and Harold Lloyd. You can't go wrong with any film of any one of them, or with Cary Grant. Really loved your reaction!😆
This is one of those movies that for so long if I ever came across it on TV I’d have to sit and watch the whole thing. That is until I bought it digitally. Just love this movie. If you enjoyed it you should watch What’s Up Doc? which was inspired by this movie and has Barbara Streisand playing the Hepburn part. A hysterical gem of a movie - both of them!
All right, you got yourself a new Patron. One of my favorite movies! Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are my all time favorite classic era actors. You must see The Philadelphia Story!
The director Howard Hawks didn't think much of the movie, regretting that every single character was some kind of nut without any kind of normal person to react to it all like the average viewer would, and his other comedies like His Girl Friday and Ball of Fire very much show how he tried to correct that. But its becoming regarded as such a comedy classic shows that most people disagreed with him.
"Bringing Up Baby" is THE screwball comedy, the pinnacle of the form, and as hysterically funny now as it was in 1938. Grant and Hepburn were a perfect team.
I looove Cary Grant. My personal favourites with him are - Charade - Arsenic and Old Laces - That touch of Mink This one is definitely a real classic though
THIS was a wonderful surprise! Thanks, Kathy Ice 💕 That's my cousin Kate playing Susan and this was directed by Howard Hawks, one of my favorite directors ever. He's done all kinds of genres, but they're all about sexual tensions and finding the right love with all sorts of double entendres despite the genre whether it be comedy or Westerns or film noir. I need to see how to join this Tier 5 level so I can make some requests. That fast talking, overlapping dialogues is a staple of Hawks' directorial style which he brought in to sound films because despite it's totally zany quality here he found was more natural.. The next film.you should see by him is called HIS GIRL FRIDAY, which I like more than this one and is in my top 100 best American films list. ❤ and vest wishes, Sam!
Ooooh what a great choice of movies to react to! And yeah, that "I just went GAY all of a sudden" is a classic line. It's amazing how a movie made 83 years ago still has the power to make us laugh. Both Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn had long, illustrious careers, and watching this nutty movie towards the beginning of their stardom is still a delight. Another classic film from this era I would recommend for some subversive LGBTQ themes is Queen Christina, starring the stunning Greta Garbo.
If you like this movie, you owe it to yourself to watch WHAT'S UP, DOC? with Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand, and Madeline Kahn. It's a tribute to this movie and sort of a sequel/remake in spirit. And absolutely hilarious.
One of my dads favorites (and mine too.) The suave and smooth Cary Grant playing a total dork was comedy gold. And the great Kate was always amazing, really showing off her versatility here. My second favorite film of hers after The African Queen. And the first time the term “gay” was used as synonymous with “homosexual” on film….and it’s fucking high-larious.
Great screwball comedy. Katherine Hepburn has a great body of work worth checking out. I highly recommend the 1949 movie Adams Rib with her and Spencer Tracy. A modern screwball comedy to watch is 1972's What's Up Doc with Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. Great reaction.
This film actually played a quite significant role in LGBT history, as Cary Grant's improvised line that he's crossdressing "Because I just went gay all of a sudden" is popularly believed to be what first caused people to start associating the word "gay" with homosexuality. It helps that Grant himself was suspected of having several affairs with men, though nothing has ever been confirmed.
It wasn't confirmed because it's not true. Grant has repeatedly denied being gay, all of his ex-wives have denied, everyone who knew him well denied it. Grant even successfully sued Chevy Chase for calling him gay on tv. Grant didn't think of it as an insult, but he did not want to be labeled as something he was not.
Before this came out, critics were saying this would be the end of Katherine Hepburn's career. Not only did the film NOT end her career, it's now considered the best example of screwball comedy. Hepburn wasn't sure how to play the character, so the producers brought in Walter Catlett to show her how to be "funny" by doing all of her lines. She loved how much Catlett helped her that she insisted on him being in the film. He plays Constable Slocum.
I love these old madcap screwball comedies. In addition to the ones already mentioned, My favorite Wife, with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne and the remake with Doris Day and James Garner, called Move Over, Darling are great fun.
hell yes!!! Thanks a million for not turning your nose up at doing such and older film ❤ I actually Sing the featured song "I cant give you anything but love Baby" to my children when they are crying at night.
One of my favorite screwball comedies! So few reactors do the older Hollywood movies, thanks for being adventurous and appreciating this time period. If you like dark humor mixed with screwball comedy, I recommend Arsenic and Old Lace. If you watch it, the less you know going into it, the better!
This movie is hilarious! The double entendres were a great way to add dirtiness to a movie that wasn’t allowed to be sexually suggestive. Uptight man engaged to Miss Swallows loses his bone, meets a woman who steals his (golf) balls, who eventually makes him lighten up, enjoy life and helps him find his bone! The antics are crazy but Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are comedy gold! One of the great comedies that people still rip off to this day.
Now that you have seen this brilliant film, I have another recommendation. “What’s Up Doc?” “What’s Up, Doc?”, was directly influenced by the classic Howard Hawks comedy Bringing Up Baby.
Such a wonderful screwball comedy! Kate and Cary ALWAYS worked beautifully together and they had such lovely chemistry! And Cary was always so suave and posh, yet did comedy so well. And Katherine is an absolute LEGEND!
Wow! You're getting into some classics!! I LOVE this movie!! But then again Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are my favorite actors of all time so there's that! Lol You should try The Philadelphia Story!
Kathy, you legend! Thank you for the request! Bringing Up Baby is absolutely absurd and I love every minute of it, and how quotable it is. "When a man is wrestling a leopard in the middle of a pond, he's in no position to run" is a particular favorite. I agree with everyone recommending Arsenic and Old Lace, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story, and Holiday (the most overlooked of the Cary Grant/Katherine Hepburn pairings but still a solid movie). Arsenic and Old Lace is the most screwball of the recommendations I'd say with the manic energy and absurd situations, but it is very (and kind of darkly) funny. His Girl Friday is sharp and fast, some of the fastest dialogue put on screen--you've got to pay attention to keep up with the wit and barbs. It's not as manic but it is a bit outrageous and the leads have great chemistry. The Philadelphia Story and Holiday are both more like straight comedy, with simpler plots but still with the witty dialogue and wonderful chemistry between Grant and Hepburn. James Stewart in The Philadelphia Story is a great addition, and the level of talent on display in that film is a gift to us all. I saw at least one commenter say we've got to keep pushing your "oldest" viewings back and I'm going to keep pushing for some Buster Keaton!! (The General, Our Hospitality, Steamboat Bill Jr, The Navigator, Battling Butler, The Cameraman...I could recommend all of these for different reasons. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get in on the guaranteed request tier, so I'll keep bringing these up and hope others join the recommendation bandwagon on these!)
Hawks actually remade it to great degree with his movie MAN'S FAVORITE SPORT? in 1964. He wanted Grant and Kate agin, but Grant didn't want to do it so he got Rock Hudson and the wonderful Paula Prentiss.
YES! Cary Grant - YES!! Katharine Hepburn YES YES!! Golden Age stars for reasons. The comedic rhythms of Vaudeville that pre-date the invention of film. Incredible.
It’s the prototypical “Screwball Comedy”. A super funny more modern movie, with this same formula was “What’s Up Doc!”, with Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand. It’s a RIOT!! It’s CRAAAAZY!!
One of my favorite old movies, I love Catherine Hepburn. I also loved the male lead, whose name I can never get right. There were three male leading actors in that time that favored each other to me. I loved them all and couldn’t really distinguish them apart, as I was a young child at the time.
I love your reactions to the classics like this. This is my favourite film era, and it makes me so happy to watch other people enjoying these movies, too. 💜
The godfather (or "baby?) of all slapstick situational comedies! I love this movie! Filmed partially in my home state of Connecticut! Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant are FIRE in this film!
I'm so glad someone reacted to this one! Cary Grant is still one of my favorites, and this is such an awesome movie! XD For more comedy with him, try Mother Goose, Operation Petticoat and Charade.
Katharine Hepburn had never done comedy and got a lot of help from Walter Catlett, the actor playing the annoying constable/sheriff. Catlett was an old-time vaudevillian, born in 1889 and a master of his craft as comes through in both their performances. It is a testament to how talented Grant was, a handsome romantic lead who made such a convincing nerd. For a hilarious Cary Grant movie, try "The Awful Truth". Keep up the great reactions, subscribed!
For romance featuring Cary Grant and a feisty Deborah Kerr (maybe a good one for like … Valentine’s Day?) might I humbly recommend An Affair to Remember?
when I was a kid we had this movie on a home-made VHS tape right before The Dark Crystal so I always ended up watching the last 10 minutes of this before the other movie.
Miss, Bojangles, If you want to go on another crazy ride after this film? May I suggest the film, "What's Up Doc." get ready for another crazy ride as the film play's homage to "Bringing Up Baby." Cheer's,Chris Perry.
This is one of my favorite screwball comedies. A classic. Please look for more of the genre. What's Up, Doc, For Pete's Sake, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians are Coming, and I haven't even mentioned Silver Streak or other Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor must-sees yet.
welcome to the world of screwball comedy. you're watching all the old b/w movies i use to watch on tv as a child. would like to see you react to Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Bad Seed (1956), His Girl Friday (1940), The Philadelphia Story (1940), and Ace In The Whole (1951). love ur reactions.
I don’t know if you’ve seen any other Hepburn movies, but this is an unusual role for her. Her characters are usually more serious, but just as memorable. Another movie with Grant and Hepburn is The Philadelphia Story with James Stewart. It’s not quite as silly as this movie, but it’s still a funny movie. Just look up her film credits and watch them all. Lol I haven’t seen them all, but the ones I have are worth watching, especially any with Spencer Tracy. Their last one was a very progressive movie fot its time about an interracial couple.
Uh-oh! It's Cary Grant again. It's okay Sam, my blinders won't allow me to acknowledge a disappointing performance. I'm sure there are several but I'd be hard pressed to find them. Love me some Kate Hepburn. I think she had a thing with whacky gazillionaire Howard Hughes. I know she really cared for Spencer Tracy. You know, people still think exotic pets are just fine. Right up to when they get eaten by said pets. After that there's no comment. Great job Sam!
Consider His Girl Friday with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. To this day considered the fasted dialog movie ever made and a brilliant screwball comedy.
"Barefoot in the Park" (1960's) is another delightful romantic comedy starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. Also try to find "The Thin Man" series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as an unconventional couple who wind up solving crimes along with their Wire Terrier named Asta.

This movie is a treasure. Katherine Hepburn plays off Cary Grant perfectly. She is also gorgeous.
Christopher Reeve based his portrayal of Clark Kent on Cary Grant’s character.
oh wow,
i can totaly see what he was going for.
And Cary Grant said he based his portrayal of the professor on the great Harold Lloyd, one of our all-time fantastic stars and filmmakers starting in the silent era.

There are some great Cary Grant comedies.
His Girl Friday
Arsenic and Old Lace,
Philadelphia Story(with Jimmy Stewart and Katherine Hepburn)
I love Philadelphia Story. Just watched it on HBOMax a couple weeks ago.
Holiday (again with Katherine Hepburn) is pretty great too
Yes omg Arsenic and Old Lace is a fave of mine
This is one of those movies that for so long if I ever came across it on TV I’d have to sit and watch the whole thing. That is until I bought it digitally. Just love this movie.

What's up doc is a fantastic movie!!
"Who is that dangerously unbalanced woman?"
One of my mum's favs. Thanks for the memory. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn would both be great rabbitholes.
These 2 are great together in Philadelphia Story too.
The Thin Man from 1934 is a great comedy mystery starring William Powell and Myrna Loy.
All right, you got yourself a new Patron. One of my favorite movies! Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are my all time favorite classic era actors. You must see The Philadelphia Story!

That is not true. Hawks thought that it didn't resonate with the public because of the reasons you mentioned. He never stated he didn't like it.
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 He actually did a loose remake of it with ´Man´s Favorite Sport.´
@@praapje I believe you are correct.

-Susan, you've got to get out of this apartment.
-But David I can't I have a lease
So many great lines in this one! 😂
So many good lines by specifically Susan!
"Some Like It Hot" -another black and white classic comedy!
Yes!
Great screwball comedy. Katherine Hepburn has a great body of work worth checking out. I highly recommend the 1949 movie Adams Rib with her and Spencer Tracy. A modern screwball comedy to watch is 1972's What's Up Doc with Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. Great reaction.
I love the screwball comedies of the 30’s & 40’s. The dialogue is so great!
Katherine Hepburn is the Greatest Of All Time! The Philadelphia Story stars these two and Jimmy Stewart and is also great
Susan dragging in that angry leopard is the greatest moment in cinema history 😂
"Philadelphia Story" is another great movie with this couple.
ooo they work with each other again?? Gotta watch definitely
@@OGBReacts AND Jimmy Stewart!
@@OGBReacts They also made a film called Holiday.
and ANYTHING with her & Spencer Tracy!

10:28 - I think this was the origin for the word "gay" to mean "homosexual" instead of usual "happy".
I can't believe someone finally reacted to this gem! Thank you!
No problem! Thank YOU!
Classic slapstick comedy.
You should check out "What's Up Doc?" with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neill. It was Madeline Kahn's 1st film.
Kathy, you legend! Thank you for the request!
Bringing Up Baby is absolutely absurd and I love every minute of it, and how quotable it is. "When a man is wrestling a leopard in the middle of a pond, he's in no position to run" is a particular favorite.

So glad! Thank you! I definitely need to watch both of those!
Arsenic and Old Lace has always been one of my favorite movies.
"Is she good?" Yeah, she is fine, she's just having fun. 😄 Love the quirky humour, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn were perfect for this movie.
An ALL TIME comedy for me - Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant together was magic ;)
"I just went GAY all of a sudden!!!"
Such a fantastic movie.
One of my favorite movies by one of with two of my absolute favorite actors in Grant and Hepburn.
“The leopard! The leopaaaaaaaaard!” That whole scene forever 😆✌️
This is such a Great Comedy of it's time! She's a woman who knows what she wants and she'll do what it takes to get them.
YES! Cary Grant - YES!! Katharine Hepburn YES YES!! Golden Age stars for reasons. The comedic rhythms of Vaudeville that pre-date the invention of film. Incredible.
It’s the prototypical “Screwball Comedy”. A super funny more modern movie, with this same formula was “What’s Up Doc!”, with Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand. It’s a RIOT!! It’s CRAAAAZY!!

The 1973 comedy 'What's Up Doc?' with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal is a remake/ode to this film- VERY funny and worth a watch!
Memories of wet Sunday afternoons at my grandparents. Lunch. Checkers with granddad. Then an old movie on the TV. So happy you liked it.
None of my friends will watch classic movies with me, so I *REALLY* enjoy watching you react to these!
I don’t get why people don’t watch older movies! There’s always something good with them!
@@OGBReacts They're just not interested in anything that isn't new. I've given up asking.
Hope you get to some james cagney. No one is reacting to his films. Hes a legend. "The roaring 20's" would be a great choice.
I am so surprised and happy you’re watching this. It’s one of the two or three best screwball romantic comedies from the 1930s and 1940s.
Thank you! Thank Kathy Ice for this one! She requested it
Ah, I’m so excited. This is one of my very very favorites.
“Is she good?” She’s chaotic good. 😂
And I love her for that 😂

One of my all time favorite screwball comedies!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I saw your North by Northwest reaction some time back, and was wondering whether you realize it's Cary Grant playing the lead here!
This is one of my favorite screwball comedies. A classic. Please look for more of the genre. What's Up, Doc, For Pete's Sake, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians are Coming, and I haven't even mentioned Silver Streak or other Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor must-sees yet.
Of Hepburn's early work, in the 30s, 'Stage Door' and 'Little Women' are the best- along with this film....
One of the funniest movies ever made.
welcome to the world of screwball comedy. you're watching all the old b/w movies i use to watch on tv as a child. would like to see you react to Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Bad Seed (1956), His Girl Friday (1940), The Philadelphia Story (1940), and Ace In The Whole (1951). love ur reactions.
I don’t know if you’ve seen any other Hepburn movies, but this is an unusual role for her. Her characters are usually more serious, but just as memorable.
Another movie with Grant and Hepburn is The Philadelphia Story with James Stewart. It’s not quite as silly as this movie, but it’s still a funny movie.

Sam…u have to watch if don’t have yet ….. Arsenic and Old Lace. you will love it with Cary grant….👍🇪🇸👏🎞
16:28 And considering how cats and dogs play it's nearly impossible to tell if Baby is playing with George or trying to eat him
Such Wonderful slapstick comedy!! It's so cool to see others enjoy these films!
Don’t you remember Cary Grant from North by Northwest? So glad to see you diving into really old classics- great reaction!
Yes I do!! It was so interesting to see his acting 20 years apart like that!
holy smokes! I can't believe you reacted to my favorite movie growing up! I used to watch this over and over.
In _The Awful Truth,_ Cary Grant's character was at one point called "Jerry the Nipper."
Liking this before watching just for the way seeing the movie choice made me screech out loud
Oh my goodness 🤣
This is probably the GOAT of classic screwball comedies.
This is a great selection. The film is hilarious, it's still funny to this day.
Uh-oh! It's Cary Grant again. It's okay Sam, my blinders won't allow me to acknowledge a disappointing performance. I'm sure there are several but I'd be hard pressed to find them. Love me some Kate Hepburn. I think she had a thing with whacky gazillionaire Howard Hughes. I know she really cared for Spencer Tracy. You know, people still think exotic pets are just fine. Right up to when they get eaten by said pets. After that there's no comment. Great job Sam!
Nice to see you taking in a classic :-)
Would be great to see you do more ;-)
Been slowly making my way through some older films!
Also try the classic comedy My Man Godfrey, also from this era.
There is a remake called What's up Doc. Fun Film
This is why they called this type movie "screwball comedies".
You can not beat Cary Grant in a comedy. Monkey Business and Arsenic and Old Lace )
seen this movie years ago. Insane! 😃
Now: Arsenic and Old Lace
Love the old Hollywood classics
Check out...
Pat and Mike (1952)
Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy
Desk Set is my personal favourite of theirs and I was and still am shocked to see how virtually unknown it is.
One of the funniest movies ever made. There are so many other great screwball comedies as well to enjoy!
You've got the guts to review an old B&W movie, which is more than most "reaction" channels that just do Marvel Comics reviews.
I'll happily react to any type of movie! That plus I love the MCU so I've seen all of their movies haha
I LOVE this film. Awesome choice.
My god, she was so beautiful..
Yes! Please watch Arsenic and Old Lace 🙏
Love your reaction to one of my favorite movies. Please react to more classic movies like these.
Consider His Girl Friday with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. To this day considered the fasted dialog movie ever made and a brilliant screwball comedy.
This is one of the best movies of all time.
"Barefoot in the Park" (1960's) is another delightful romantic comedy starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.
Also try to find "The Thin Man" series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as an unconventional couple who wind up solving crimes along with their Wire Terrier named Asta.
Funniest movie I’ve ever seen, each and every time I see it.
One of my favorite movies.
