What happens

Man's Favorite Sport? is a 1964 American screwball comedy film starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss and directed and produced by Howard Hawks. Hawks intended the film to be an homage to his own 1938 screwball classic Bringing Up Baby, with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, and unsuccessfully tried to recruit Hepburn and Grant to reprise their roles. The film was coproduced by Hudson through his company Gibraltar Productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
