Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal star in a screwball romantic comedy that races across San Francisco in What's Up, Doc? Carefree, eccentric Judy Maxwell (Streisand) has a suitcase with an encyclopedia and a nightgown--and eyes for repressed, eccentric Howard Bannister (O'Neal). Howard has a suitcase full of igneous rocks to prove an esoteric musical theory and an overly proper fiancée named Eunice (Madeline Kahn). None of them know Mr. Smith (Michael Murphy), who has a suitcase full of top-secret government documents and a nefarious man-tailing him. Add another suitcase full of jewels, a crooked hotel detective, and a jealous musicologist. Put them all together in the same hotel. Juggle the suitcases ... and watch the laughs fly!

Critics Consensus: Barbra Streisand was never more likable than in this energetic, often hilarious screwball farce from director Peter Bogdanovich.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

It's a unique, noble effort to recreate the comedy stylings of a bygone era, but it's never completely convincing.

...a briskly-paced and often hilarious endeavor...

In Bogdanovich's analytical twist on the genre, even joyous liberation leaves a huge mess.

What's Up, Doc? naturally has a life of its own, but its inspiration is derived from other excellent comedies. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film builds on itself, gaining speed as it careens out-of-control toward its conclusion. Only a director in complete control can fashion something so effortlessly chaotic.
