Howard Bannister’s Rocks: Celebrating “What's Up, Doc?" and "Bringing Up Baby (1938/1972)
Description
A conversation about the timeless wit of screwball comedies as Brad and Tony pay tribute to the classics "What's Up, Doc?" and "Bringing Up Baby." Join the laughter-filled journey, where they unwrap the clever storytelling that emerged under the 1930s Production Code, and how it paved the way for the hijinks of later gems like Peter Bogdanovich's tribute to the genre. Hear about behind-the-scenes genius, historic film language nuances, and the impact of 1938's "Bringing Up Baby" on Hollywood careers. They dissect the character-driven hilarity in films like "What's Up, Doc?" and examine why San Francisco's charm made it the real star of the 1972 film.
