Classic Film Friday: Monkey Business

This 1952 classic features Cary Grant as Dr. Barnaby Fulton. It seems the good Dr. Fulton may have stumbled on to a formula that enables one to get their youth back. He is a chemist and he's working with chimpanzees. Ginger Rogers plays Mrs. Edwina Fulton, the doctor's wife. And Marilyn Monroe plays a dim witted secretary, and it seems her character shows no other purpose than to have her breasts ogled.

As for the movie, it's a slapstick comedy, as both Fultons take turns with the formula and a few board members as well. It proves that you really can't go back again, even in a movie. And as it turns out Dr. Fulton is not responsible for the formula. The monkey, Ethel is the culprit, or genius as it were.
