Or other screwball farces of the thirties and forties? The film loves the phone, because the phone fixes people in space. What say you?

If they had had mobiles, they would have run out of batteries/been out of range, surely?

Hello Pete. Bringing Up Baby has a scene with a phone, which is mostly to make you remember that Cary Grant has a boring wife who doesn't understand leopards but without boring us by actually working her into the plot - yay! No mobiles though, although I think K. Hepburn could have benefitted from a mobile in the prison scene with further Jerry the Nipper styling fake phone calls.
