The quintessence of screwball comedy. Tell enough old jokes fast enough and even the most tired seem fresh and funny. Howard Hawks directs with unabashed swiftness; Katharine Hepburn is dizzy enough to send the normally suave Cary Grant reeling. The usual Hollywood contract players live up to their contracts, including the dog and the cats. Nothing more than madcap fun, but plenty of it. (1938, TCM/T, r.) *7+*
