The picture centers upon a scientist and his wife(Gary Grant and Ginger Rogers), he discovers a potion with extraordinary effects making younger themselves. He is testing the rejuvenating formula on a chimp turning nutty . This film is an underlying screwball united to : ¨Bringing up baby¨, ¨Ball of fire¨ and ¨His girl Friday¨, all are by the trio : Gary Grant-Gary Cooper-Howard Hawks and they are splendid.
In the movie there are comedy ,tongue in cheek ,joy ,giggles and is pretty amusing . From the initiation to the final the humor is unstopped . Gary Grant and Ginger Rogers interpretation are top notch , both are awesome comedy actors . Ginger Rogers is the number one as dancer actress, besides a fascinating comedian and she obtained an Oscar Academy award as main actress for her portrayal in ¨Kitty Foyle, natural history of a woman¨. The support cast is first range, are the veteran Charles Coburn and a newcomer Marilyn Monroe who at her playing as attractive and charming secretary demonstrates experience like future first star . Excellent storyline by Ben Hetch and L.A.I. Diamond , they're Billy Wilder's habitual writers . Howard Hawks' direction is very good , Hawks has classics on every genre , thus: noir genre(The big sleep),Western(Rio Bravo) and comedy(Monkey business). The yarn will appeal to comedy enthusiastic and Gary Grant fans. Rating: Above average. Well worth seeing.
