| This was recently knocked off of IMDb's Top 250, why, I don't know, for my money they could take a lot of the more popular movies out, Dark Knight, Goodfellas, Donnie Darko, etc. Anyway, very funny movie, very good Katharine Hepburn movie though at a choice for her best performance of 1939 I think Holiday deserves that title. but this was a very funny movie, Katharine as a zany hairbrained girl whose brother sends her a leopard and she doesn't know what to do with it so she drags Cary Grant, a I believe (it's been a while) zoologist into helping her with it. Has a VERY great part where he's taking a shower and his clothes are gone and he's left with a pink bathrobe, we saw the colorized version which I think actually helped it a lot, and when asked why he's wearing it he explodes 'Because I just went GAY all of a sudden!' VERY funny, and I read that Cary Grant was actually terrified of the leopard used while Katharine Hepburn handled it so well she was told she could be an animal trainer. And in fact she played a joke on him by putting a large stuffed leopard into his dressing room and when he saw it, he ran out screaming! | |

| Didn't they remake this? I had no idea this was that old. | |

| I checked, I haven't seen anyting recent involving a leopard, but it was remade once in 1964 as a film called My Favorite Sport, I never saw that one though.
