Bringing Up Baby

Think about the film's mise-en-scene. Choose one scene in the film and discuss all aspects of the mise-en-scene (costumes, set, lighting, props, framing) and its relation to the scene and the film as a whole. Discuss also the cultural context of the film(perhaps comparing to another film of this year from another geographical location), as well as insights into the intent of the filmmaker as well as copious evidence from within the frame. Use at least 2 paragraphs for your discussion. 

And please post your favorite line from the film.
