- Bringing Up Baby, directed by Howard Hawks in 1938, is one of the greatest screwball comedies and a treasure from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Cary Grant plays a naive and repressed palaeosaurologist who becomes entangled with (and ensnared by) a wilful heiress (Katharine Hepburn). Chaos ensues as romance blossoms and not one, but two leopards are set loose in verdant Connecticut. All of Hawks' signature skills are to the fore: there is the wonderful ensemble cast, the characteristically refined but unselfconscious visual style, an endless succession of pratfalls, innuendo and jokes (written by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde) and, underneath the chaos and good cheer, a serious dream of escaping life's troubles by dint of nothing more or less than nerve and luck
- There are no human babies in Bringing Up Baby, but there are those leopards and the relentless terrier George – and, as Peter Swaab explores in his witty and original study, Hawks' film wonders profoundly why we want animals in our lives and why we sometimes need to behave as animals ourselves. Many screwball films have been seen as comedies of remarriage, but Peter Swaab argues that this one is not much interested in marriage and is instead more captivated by instinct, irresponsibility, and the wild abnormalities of romance
- The film is in its way an American dream of independence and believes the real way to get on in life – for filmmakers as well as scientists – isn't by deference and respectability but by having sexy fun with the right people. A thoroughly American fiction of the 1930s, Bringing Up Baby is also a timelessly classical comic narrative, exploring conflicts between civilisation and nature, rationality and insanity, middle-class inhibitions, and aristocratic blitheness. And it is the epitome of film comedy, an anthology of comic types and devices, and one of the most seductively funny films ever made

Well argued
Format: Paperback
Perhaps I should say at once that giving this slim but meaty volume five stars doesn't mean I personally agree with it. It has been many years since I have subscribed to the substitutionary theory of Jesus' death or the idea that the Bible is anything other than a record of human interfaces with the Unknown. But a review is not the place to argue such points at length. Also, it behooves people who want to think, to seek out alternate and even opposing points of view, in order to test and maybe revise their ideas. Jeremy Treat did not change my mind, but he might have if I held the same view he apparently does of Scripture. He argues well, clearly, and persuasively, and makes a Christianity grounded on this view look at least potentially like a pretty good basis for decent living. There are one or two points that troubled me a little. The concept that Jesus died for us as a community is sound in itself, but if carried to extremes looks very much like the idea that underlay the infamous religious wars and persecutions. Also, on page 86, Treat says: "Forgiveness is not merely dismissing a wrong. My wife and I teach our children that when someone apologizes to them, they should not respond by simply saying, 'It's okay' … To truly forgive, one acknowledges the wrongdoing but chooses to not hold it against the wrongdoer. Forgiveness is … accepting the penalty on behalf of the wrongdoer for the sake of the relationship. It is absorbing the pain yourself rather than seeking to put it back on the other person." Now, to me, this looks like such a clear recipe for Trouble that I very much wish Treat provided several examples for how, exactly, he sees it working in everyday life. Sometimes, as when the apology is a "Sorry" for inadvertently jostling you in a crowd, the simple "It's okay" seems to me by far the best response.
These few possible danger points, however, should be understood in the context of the book as a whole, which gives me the very strong impression of a practical pastor who knows his stuff, makes things hang coherently together, and probably gives useful and comforting counsel. I'm guessing, by his book, that he is a man I'd enjoy talking with in person.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!

Great kitchen organizer
I love this handy kitchen sink organizer! I like things to be neat and tidy. This little product does the trick! It holds my dish liquid, hand soap, brushes, disposal cover and my sponges. The size is perfect and it looks great next to my sink. The organizer is made of metal and is built very well. It even has a drip pan. No more stuff all around the sink. This keeps it all organized so well. Love it!
