Monkey Business

TCM's Alicia Malone introduces Monkey Business, 1952.

Ben Mankiewicz introduces Monkey Business, 1952.

Perhaps a bit creaky now but a neatly tied-in opening from director Howard Hawks, introducing Cary Grant as scientist Barnaby Fulton, Ginger Rogers as his wife Edwina, in Monkey Business, 1952, co-starring Marilyn Monroe.

Bumbling staff scientist Barnaby (Cary Grant) and director Howard Hawks create the ideal opening scene for Lois Laurel (Marilyn Monroe), the secretary to the blustery boss Oxly (Charles Coburn), early in Monkey Business, 1952.

Cary Grant is a scientist whose search for the fountain of youth makes him and his wife regress to childhood in Monkey Business (1952).
