This is undoubtedly one of the greatest screwball comedies of the 1930s. Posters on this title are highly sought-after and very rarely surface.
This American screwball comedy was directed by Howard Hawks and stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. It follows a mild-mannered palaeontologist caught up in chaotic misadventures with a scatterbrained heiress and a leopard. The script was written for Hepburn, and filming, often delayed by on-set laughter, ran over schedule and budget.
