Trivia:
It took a month to film the final chase scene, and it cost $1 million - a quarter of the total budget. The segment with the giant pane of glass alone took four or five days. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: As the bike begins to roll backward down the hill, the pedals force Judy's feet to turn backward, indicating it has a d?railleur-type hub, which can only freewheel in the forward direction. In the longer shot that follows, her feet on the pedals are not moving, which would require that the chain be removed. more
Quotes:
Judy: Well, this last time was not my fault.
Howard: What happened?
Judy: Nothing, nothing, really. It was just a little classroom, it sort of burned down.
Howard: Burned down?
Judy: Well, blew up actually.
Howard: Political activism?
Judy: Chemistry major.
Howard: I see.

Superb 70s Screwball Comedy, 14 August 2004
10/10
Author: drednm

Great 70s comedy stars Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal in a remake of the classic Bringing Up Baby. Fun all the way in this updated story that has O'Neal playing a doofus professor up for a grant and Streisand as the madcap dropout who plagues him. A great team---and backed by Madeline Kahn, Michael Murphy, Sorrell Booke, Kenneth Mars, Mabel Albertson, Graham Jarvis, Austin Pendleton, John Hillerman, Randy Quaid, and especially Liam Dunn as the judge, in one of the best comedy performances ever. Great chase scene thru San Francisco. The court room scene is hilarious. Streisand sings "As Time Goes By." Funny film has perfect timing all the way, thanks to direction from Peter Bogdanovich. A must see.
