The back of this publicity still reads BU-PUB-A44 Not due before the cameras at the moment, Katharine Hepburn, star of RKO Radio’s “Bringing Up Baby” and Cary Grant, her leading man, are having an amusing discussion between scenes. (Then the year 1938 is written in and circled).

“I’ve always been athletic at home, sledding and tobagganing in winter, skiing a bit. Tennis a lot. Swam, of course, at Long Island Sound, winter and summer, still do. Golf, I played a good game. The golf clubs stay in a barrel now, I don’t play anymore. But I do still enjoy tennis. I’ve got a bad back, a bad ankle, and I’m 85, so I have my own rules. I get two bounces…Great game, tennis. In the next life, I plan to be a Wimbledon champion.”—Katharine Hepburn

By 1926 director King Vidor and star John Gilbert were one of MGM’s most bankable duos, thanks to the massive success of their WWI drama The Big Parade (1925). They were immediately thrust into the similarly high-minded period piece La Bohème (1926), and were cast in The Glory Diggers, about the construction of the Panama Canal. But MGM had to drop the latter project, and to keep them working swiftly re-assigned both of them to Bardelys the Magnificent (1926) instead, a tongue-in-cheek romantic adventure in the Douglas Fairbanks mold. It was a departure for the duo, but they proved to have the appropriately light touch, and Gilbert flies across the screen as if sprung from a trampoline. Gilbert pokes fun at his “Great Lover” persona, here pushed into a seducer caricature of Casanovian proportions. Once thought lost, an incomplete print was discovered in France in 2006 and restored by Lobster Films. The third reel is missing, with that section filled in with inter-titles and stills. It is this version that is on DVD from Flicker Alley and is now streaming on FilmStruck.
