Monkey Business

(1952)Directed by Howard Hawks97 minComedy, Science Fiction
“It's some fun!”

Barnaby Fulton (Cary Grant) is a research chemist who wants one thing, a pill that gives back youth, and he has spent his days at a chemical company chasing it. A loose lab chimp tips some chemicals into the water cooler, and Barnaby's next sip leaves him feeling twenty again. Howard Hawks follows what that does to Barnaby and his wife Edwina (Ginger Rogers), two grown people who suddenly start acting like kids around each other.
