Monkey Business
14 years after 1938’s Bringing up Baby, Cary Grant and Howard Hawks reunited for another swing at screwball comedy, this time with a monkey instead of a leopard and Ginger Rogers taking over for Katharine Hepburn. Grant is a scientist searching for the fountain of youth and unfortunately he finds it: the serum backfires in spectacular fashion transforming he and Rogers into mean-spirited brats. Marilyn Monroe plays the boss’s secretary and she remains as sweet as ever.

About Michael Schlesinger
Michael Schlesinger is widely acknowledged as the dean of classic film distributors, having worked for more than 25 years at MGM, Paramount and Sony, keeping hundreds of vintage movies in theatrical release (and later DVD), and instigating the restoration of many more, including the completion of Orson Welles' 1942 documentary It's All True some 50 years later. Behind the camera, he wrote and produced the American version of Godzilla 2000, co-produced such Larry Blamire parodies as The Lost Skeleton Returns Again and Dark and Stormy Night, and has written, produced and directed several short films featuring the faux-1930s comedy team of Biffle and Shooster. No power on Earth will ever convince him that It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World is not the Greatest. Movie. Ever.
