And now to Bogdanovich's version of Bringing Up Baby - of course it's not as good, but Streisand and O'Neal are perfectly matched in the Hepburn-Grant model. Much clever timing of opening and closing hotel doors and bag switching, with a fabulous chase sequence through San Francisco streets, a stand-out gag that riffs on silent comedy featuring a ladder and a plate of glass, and some terrific stunt driving into the Bay.
Michael Murphy, Madeline Khan, the treasurable Austin Pendleton, Phil Roth, Kenneth Mars and the ghastly-dressed Mabel Albertson (Barefoot in the Park).
