Monkey Business (1952), a comedy film directed by Howard Hawks. Cast: Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn and Marilyn Monroe. It is a story about a chemist, who's life is turned upside down after one of the chimpanzees, mixes some chemicals together and pours the mix into the water cooler. After drinking the drink he feels like a new man... Barnaby leaves the laboratory.. getting a crew-cut and buying a wild, sportscoat.

In one of my favorite scenes in the film, is when Barnaby is at the car dealership, buying a new sports car and asks Miss Laurel (who has been sent to go out and find him) to go for a ride...
Classic scene... even the 'non-Ginger' scenes were great in this one... it's a 'screwball comedy', to be sure, but just goofy fun for all... Thanks, Dawn!

This film reminds me a little of the classic film, Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis.. Which you may also enjoy..
ReplyDelete...yep... it kinda is a 'precursor' to the 'live action screwball' films Disney did in the late 50's and the 60's... such as Nutty Prof..and That Darn Cat... and..heck, others I can't really remember...
