“One of the finest screwball comedies ever.” —Geoff Andrew, Time Out
David Huxley's carefully planned life is turned upside down when he meets Susan Vance, a free-spirited and impulsive woman who introduces him to her pet leopard, Baby. Susan convinces David to help her transport Baby to her aunt's estate, where they encounter a series of misadventures, including a missing dinosaur bone, a jailbreak, and mistaken identity.
As David tries to keep up with Susan and her unpredictable antics, he slowly realizes that he is falling in love with her. However, things only get more complicated when Susan mistakes him for a zoologist and tries to get his help in capturing a wild leopard.
A timeless classic that has inspired countless romantic comedies and has been praised for its clever writing, perfect casting, and dynamic pacing. It is widely regarded as one of the best comedies of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
