SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

While trying to secure a $1 million donation for his museum, a befuddled paleontologist (Cary Grant) is pursued by a flighty and often irritating heiress (Katharine Hepburn) and her pet leopard, Baby.

“There’s a strong sense that this couple scares each other long after we leave their frenetic company. Maybe that’s why it’s so goddamned romantic.” – Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
