  • 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

Better than my new fancy robo
Great suction power. Doesn't get stuck often. I've had this vacuum for 5 years and it still works great. We got an AirRobo with a mop feature and demoted the Eufy to the basement. But, the eufy works way better and I frequently bring it upstairs to pre-clean before the AirRobo. Love this vacuum! Do you have a version with a mop?

The best little helper!
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
I've never owned a robot vacuum prior to this, and was somewhat curious on how it would work, and what it would really do in my small home. I got the L60 refurbished unit, and it came in a brand new box and it looked brand new when I removed it from the packaging. I charged it up, setup the app and connected it to Wi-Fi, ran a cycle and it was all so easy. It mapped my home and it is was off! It does an absolutely fantastic job. I run it daily and can notice just how much cleaner my hardwood floors are. We have a cat who is intrigued by it, but it does a fantastic job of cleaning up the litter that is tracked from his litter box. That alone is a lifesaver. I will run it in the morning and at night in cats area to keep the hair and litter completely cleaned up. So far I've only had a few small issues where it got stuck, twice from items left out, and once from a dirty sensor. You really need to make sure you have things put away and have the areas picked up, especially of cat toys and shoe laces, and once in a while wipe the sensors off if they get really dusty. I highly recommend this, it truly has been a huge help just in daily pickup and keeping the house clean. Its absolutely worth the money.

Filter is too small for full coverage
Filters are not the correct size, too small. Not worth the risk. Brush arm bristles were also all bent up.

Filters are the wrong size for the Eufy C10 vacuum
The air filters are smaller than the stock air filter. They will probably work if they are stretched out a bit, but as delivered, are unacceptable. The roller and the sweeper are good. Poor filter fit. Original filter size: 1.75 inch by 3.65625 inch. The filters in this set are 1.25 inch by 3.5 inch. Too small.
