In this screwball comedy, heiress Susan is determined to catch a stuffy paleontologist and uses her pet leopard, Baby, to help get his attention. The elements of this farce include a yappy terrier who steals and buries an irreplaceable fossilized bone, a pompous big game hunter, a rich old aunt, a jealous fianc and a case of mistaken identity involving a second, and vicious, leopard.

The underworld nickname she gives police for David is "Jerry the Nipper", a nickname that Jerry (Grant) had in The Awful Truth (1937). David protests to the police, "Officer, she's making it up from motion pictures she's seen!"

There *is* a leopard on your roof and it's my leopard and I have to get it and to get it I have to sing.
Revealing mistakes: Glass wall in the bathroom to fence Baby in.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
