What’s Up, Doc?

1h 33m

Directed by Peter Bogdanovich • 1972 • United States
Starring Barbra Streisand, Ryan O’Neal, Kenneth Mars

Peter Bogdanovich’s bubbly homage to the fast-talking screwball comedies of the 1930s and ’40s coasts by on the breezy charms of Ryan O’Neal and Barbra Streisand as, respectively, a nerdy musicologist and an eccentric young woman whose fixation on him throws his life into chaos. Along the way there is a daffy luggage mix-up involving a case of stolen jewels and top-secret government papers; the great Madeline Kahn (making her film debut); dippy dialogue galore; a marvelous example of the art of hotel-room demolition; and one of the funniest chase sequences ever, a wild spree up and down the streets of seventies San Francisco.
