Everything's Going to be All Right.....,
By "smidges" (McLean, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bringing Up Baby: Howard Hawks, director (Rutgers Films in Print) (Paperback)
To start off, i happen to be OBSSESSED with Bringing Up Baby. I have the movie at least one hundred times, and can quote the entire script. So, you can imagine how thrilled i was, while browsing the cinema section in my local bookstore, to find an entire book devoted to my favorite movie of time. I immediately devoured it. The book contains the script (which is useful if you miss some of the rapid-fire dialogue in the film), as well as essays and the story the film is based on. i LOVED it. it gave me new incite to the quintessential screwball comedy. i highly recommend it to anyone who loves Bringing up Baby.

This review is from: Bringing Up Baby: Howard Hawks, director (Rutgers Films in Print) (Paperback)
This book is a must have for any Bringing Up Baby fans. It is my favorite Katharine Hepburn film so I loved this book. It has the movie script, the script for deleted scenes, production notes, an interview with director Howard Hawks, reviews, commentaries and the original short story that inspired the movie. Now the script part was a bit hard to read with all direction and camera moves. It doesn't flow good but if you can over look that you will love it. This book was a joy to read and would recommend it to all.
