Monkey Business (1952) starring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, Marilyn Monroe. Directed by Howard Hawks. Grant plays an absent-minded scientist named Barnaby who, while experimenting on chimpanzees, accidentally discovers a rejuvenating formula. Rogers plays Edwina, his adoring wife. After the formula gets dumped into the bottled water, both end up regressing at the same time, creating chaos in the boardroom at the company where Barnaby works. Typical '50s fare features clever writing, some funny lines and situations. The subtitles are the good kind -- yellow to stand out against the black-and-white film. Grade: B
