Description
A vintage movie poster from Spain of ''Bringing Up Baby'', a classic 1938 screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks. The film stars Katharine Hepburn as the quirky and impulsive Susan Vance and Cary Grant as the mild-mannered paleontologist Dr. David Huxley. The story revolves around the mishaps and misunderstandings that ensue when Susan tries to win David's heart, causing a series of comedic situations.
David is on the brink of completing a significant dinosaur reconstruction project and marrying his assistant, but his encounter with Susan disrupts his plans. Susan owns a leopard named Baby, which she has received from her brother in Brazil and intends to gift to her aunt. The leopard becomes central to the plot's comedy, as Susan mistakenly assumes David is a zoologist who can help her with Baby.
As Susan draws David into her chaotic world, they embark on a wild chase involving a missing intercostal clavicle (a dinosaur bone), another leopard escaped from the circus, a dog named George, and a series of misadventures that includes a run-in with the law. The film features slapstick comedy, rapid-fire dialogue, and romantic tension between the leads, which is typical of the screwball genre.
"Bringing Up Baby" was not an immediate hit upon release but has since become regarded as a classic, praised for its witty script and the chemistry between Hepburn and Grant. It's often cited for its influence on the genre and is considered one of the greatest comedy films ever made.
About theposter artist:
Enrique Mataix was a Spanish film poster artist from Madrid who painted and designed posters for five decades, between 1939 to 1988.
Mataix's movie posters are perfect arrangements. Their design shows great originality in the composition, creating connections between images, frames, and titles. Characters often blend together or adapt to the scene, taking on different postures, settings, and sizes. They express a very dynamic patchwork effect. However, Mataix never loses the thread in this animated flow. Everything is graphically connected, held together by a masterful coherence.
