Monkey Business description Cary Grant plays an absent-minded scientist working on a youth serum with little success. One afternoon, one of his test monkeys gets loose and works up a formula of its own, which then gets dropped into their water cooler. Shortly, Grant is tooling around in a sports car with his boss's voluptuous secretary (Marilyn Monroe). When his wife (Ginger Rogers) investigates, she too gets a dose and drags Grant off for a second honeymoon of all-night dancing. Meanwhile, Grant's elderly boss (Charles Coburn) is eager to get his hands on the formula--only Grant's formula isn't having the proper effect. Monkey Business is probably most familiar to Marilyn Monroe cultists, but it's Grant and Rogers who have the central roles and make the most of them. Rogers's adolescent emotional meltdown at a hotel and Grant leading a gaggle of boys on a scalping raid are only two of the movie's many richly funny set pieces, all directed by the nimble hand of Howard Hawks (His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Ball of Fire, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). One of the last of the classic screwball comedies. --Bret Fetzer |

The fountain-of-youth is what every middle-aged adult dreams about from time to time, aahhh, to be young again! Ginger Rogers plays Edwina, the understanding wife of chemist Barnaby Fulton (Cary Grant). After working on his fountain-of-youth formula for two years, he has finally got it and it is time to do some experimental research. Let the fun begin! Both Edwina and Barnaby take the formula, and revert back to a day when they were full of boisterous energy. Being under the influence of the formula also brings up all sorts of unconscious behaviors and thoughts about each other to the surface, which brings about some tense conversation between the two of them later on. Marilyn Monroe is incredibly sexy in her role as the boss's secretary. Moving and swaying her body with such precision, the viewer is captivated by her. It doesn't stop there, more research must be done. More laughs, each comedic event builds on the next. This story does have a happy ending! |
