Monkey Business (1952)
Directed by Howard
Hawks this film stars Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and
Chris Coburn. A scientist working on an anti ageing formula tests a
new batch on himself with slightly different results than expected.
As a standard
screw-ball comedy this film is pretty funny and has some good if not
classic moments. The story suggest that maybe youth is not something
the characters should be rushing after but does not exactly explore
this theme with great depth beyond the idea children are childish.
Where the film stands out is in it's excellent cast and it would have
been to see more of Marilyn Monroe who is really good in the parts
she is in.
4/5
