  • La Fiera De Mi Niña Un Manicomio Bien Construido
    LA FIERA DE MI NIÑA Bringing up baby Howard Hawks, 1938 UN MANICOMIO BIEN CONSTRUIDO Adaptación de un relato corto de Hagar Wilde (1905-1971) publicado en 1937 por el magazine Collier’s Weekly. “Yo trabajaba para la RKO cuando leí una historia maravillosa. Su autora, Hagar Wilde, nunca había escrito para el cine, así que Dudley Nichols la ayudó con el script.” 1 El título original es Bringing up Baby, traducible al español como Educando a Baby. Baby es el nombre de un leopardo, mascota de la protagonista. En España, el film se exhibió como La fiera de mi niña, título bastante ambiguo porque puede referirse a la chica o al leopardo. Sinopsis: El paleontólogo David Huxley acaba de recibir la clavícula intercostal de un brontosaurio, único hueso que le faltaba para completar el esqueleto. Para ser el hombre más feliz de la tierra sólo necesita conseguir una donación de un millón de dólares para su museo y casarse al día siguiente con Alice, su prometida y seria colaboradora. Sin embargo, el día antes de la boda irrumpe en su vida Susan, una joven llena de vitalidad y absurda hasta el extremo de ofrecerle un leopardo por mascota. Tras un comienzo accidentado, David entiende que su felicidad está más cerca de la loca Susan que de la fósil Alice. “Toda la película es completamente exagerada. Creo que su gran defecto es que no hay nadie normal en ella. Pero no me di cuenta hasta que la película estuvo terminada. Aun así, Harold Lloyd me dijo que era la comedia mejor construida que había visto nunca.

  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

  • ABCD Online Programme Note Bringing up Baby 20
    ABCD Film Society Registered Charity no. 292723 [email protected] www.abfilms.org.uk Welcome to the opening film in ABCD's new Online programme which we hope will provide you with some cinematic sustenance in these Covid restricted days Bringing Up Baby USA 1938 102mins Cert U In this engagingly bizarre story, soppy socialite Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn) and absent-minded palaeontology professor David Huxley (Cary Grant) hunt for her missing pet leopard (the Baby of the title) and a fossil - the latter stolen by the heroine’s dog, while Major Horace Applegate (Charles Ruggles) makes loony 'phone calls (don’t ask!). All the increasingly befuddled Huxley is trying to do is secure a $1 million donation for his museum. Director Hawks’ priceless farce is high on the list of the all-time great American film comedies, being distinguished by a truly witty screenplay (by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde - based on the latter’s story) that’s packed with endless funny situations and hilarious lines. Hawks takes all the nonsense, as you must with farce, at a breathless gallop, frantically picking up the pace into a frenzy. Bringing Up Baby is most fondly remembered for the delightful, delirious, slapstick playing from a perfectly matched Hepburn and Grant. Adding enormously to its appeal, not one of the magnificent supporting cast puts a foot wrong - Ruggles is hilarious, May Robson is superbly bewildered as Aunt Elizabeth and Fritz Feld has a field day as the psychiatrist. An admired classic today, the film (surprisingly) flopped commercially on its release, perhaps because Hepburn was then suffering under the soubriquet of ‘box-office poison’, because of disputes with her studio.
