Bringing Up Baby - Adaptations

Adaptations

Bringing Up Baby has been adapted several different times. Hawks himself recycled the nightclub scene in which Hepburn's dress is torn and Grant walks behind her in his 1964 comedy Man's Favorite Sport. Peter Bogdanovich's 1972 film What's Up, Doc?, starring Barbra Streisand, was intended as an homage to the movie. In his commentary track for Bringing Up Baby, Bogdanovich discusses how the coat ripping scene in What's Up, Doc? was based directly on the scene in which Grant's coat (and then Hepburn's dress) is torn in Baby. The 1987 movie Who's That Girl?, starring Madonna, is also loosely based on Bringing Up Baby.
