Review of What's Up, Doc? (1972) by Kevin M. W — 07 Aug 2018

Remember that kind of stuffy professor who was easily flustered that Cary Grant played in Bringing Up Baby? Well that's sort of the tip of this comic fare-thee-well, an homage to screwball comedies, with Ryan O'Neal doing the present honors, and Babs Streisand in her most accessible role as the loopy broad (the Katherine Hepburn part) who has set her sights on said professor.

Set the antics in San Francisco and let her rip. Why this film isn't remembered beside the likes of Blazing Saddles I'll never know, a forgotten gem of the 1970's. Madelyn Kahn plays the cougar.
