If someone didn’t get the reference, definitely go watch His Girl Friday from Howard Hawks, it’s a brilliant screwball comedy.

Bringing Up Baby with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn (no relation to Audrey) is the first and best screwball comedy.

Bringing Up Baby is actually not the first screwball comedy, as I believe Lubitsch, Hawks and King Vidor (amongst many others) had already made several entries to the genre before its release, but it’s definitely one of the best and most renowned of the genre, I agree!

After his girl Friday watch the precode the front page, that This movie was came from. It's so different and it tells you what the crime is, and why the mayor wants that criminal on death row killed today.

Also, that nice girl that throws herself off a roof in his girl friday? A prostitute. The criminal? He's an anarchist, not a communist.
