Bringing Up Baby: Patrician Romance

The 1938 screwball classic Bringing Up Baby is the AFI entry for this episode, and man is the leopard cute. Tim talks through the zany...everything of the film before casting it as an example of Patrician Romance. With that theme Ernst Lubitsch makes his second appearance on the podcast in Heaven Can Wait, which goes against Dorothy Arzner's Craig's Wife in a battle of rich folk being various degrees of unfaithful and romantic and showing us the nuanced contours of what it means to be together.
