A scatterbrained heiress and a shy palaeontologist get tangled up with a pet leopard.

Sinekatalog’s take

Howard Hawks's screwball comedy has Cary Grant's paleontologist harried by Katharine Hepburn and a pet leopard. Fast, absurd and relentlessly funny, it flopped at first and is now a classic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
