You should be neither too drunk nor too sober to seriously enjoy BUB. Splendid, exuberant film in which Grant and Hepburn both give atypical but fabulous performances - he as the dithery, absent minded professor and she as the nutty absent-minded leopard gatherer. Very simply filmed, plot defies description. One of Russell Metty's first films, scored by the ubiquitous Roy Webb. Charlie Ruggles gives great performance as leopard 'specialist'. Laughs abound like nettles in a nettle garden.
With the fabulous Skippy (Asta), and a fabulous leopard.
Scene where Hepburn is singing 'I can't give you anything but love, baby' to a savage leopard which is on the roof of psychiatrist's house, who thinks she's crazy, one of many gems.
Screenplay by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde contains classics such as "Don't you find it a bit cold without your gun?" and "I was born on the side of a hill".
