Bring Up Baby

First off I want to say that Bringing Up Baby is a crazy movie. It seems so stressful at times, but everything is resolved in the end.... somehow. I think the stressfulness and craziness of the movie is what makes a screwball comedy. For example, the jail scene at the end. Too many things for my mind to comprehend were happening at once. The aunt of Susan was yelling at the sheriff, David was trying to get the sheriff's attention. The police men are chasing after Susan because she just escaped from jail. Mr Applegate is trying to tell the sheriff that he shouldn't bee in jail. And then the zoo men come into the scene and tell the sheriff they lost a leopard. With all this stuff happening one would think that the outcome couldn't be a good one. Well that would be a wrong assumption. After a little while Baby ( one of the leopards) come into the room and everyone freaks out. Then Susan comes into the room dragging the dangerous leopard by a string and everyone runs for cover. This creates more chaos. But by the end everyone comes out of the situation unharmed, physically that is. David is worn out from the experience he had all day and ends up falling in love with Susan which is quite odd. Overall the movie seemed very stressful at times with a rare chance of everything coming out okay. But not until the end is everything explained. For example, when David is at the house of Susan's aunt and Susan tells her aunt that David is actually Mr. Bone who just had a nervous breakdown. Just telling Susan's aunt this does not set up for a good situation. But somehow everything comes out okay in the end. Which I think is the essence of a screwball comedy.
