Howard Hawks’ hilarious battle-of-the-sexes opens with prissy palaeontologist David Huxley (Cary Grant) just a day away from completing the Brontosaurus skeleton he’s been putting together for years and marrying his controlling fiancee. What he doesn’t count on, however, is an encounter with “flutter-brained vixen” Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn), who turns David’s world upside-down by embroiling him in a plan to deal with the tame leopard (the titular Baby) she’s saddled with.

Unlike Hawks and Grant’s subsequent screwball masterpiece (1940), there’s no real depth or dramatic underpinning to Heck, it doesn’t even bother
