What's Up, Doc?

Peter Bogdanovich, 1972
G; 94 minutes

“A homage to Hollywood screwball comedy that by and large gets its pace and cartoon/slapstick timings right.” —Times Out

On a trip to San Francisco to compete for a music grant, a young researcher (Ryan O’Neal) meets a zany college dropout (Barbra Streisand). Their unpredictable and wacky relationship adds to the antics of the film when four identical plaid bags with valuable contents go missing.

The “My Favorite Films” series features tales of romance, humor, suspense, satire, and heroism with films since 1945. These films may hold special memories for you—no matter how many times you see them, they continue draw you in once more. While many of these films are available through streaming, it's always more fun to see them in the theatre. This November, escape into the warmth of laughter and celebrate the season with these cinematic adventures of the heart.
