Top Ten Films - Howard Hawks
“In his glorious Bringing Up Baby, Howard Hawks ratchets screwball comedy up to its tautest and springiest level.

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (2020) (1001 movies items)" Notes: Eventually, it turned out to be one of those typical screwball comedies from the 30's but, to be honest, I have never been a huge fan of the genre.

One of those films you can watch again and again and still laugh out loud."
