Monkey Business (1952): Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers and Marilyn Monroe


     Directed by Howard Hawks, Monkey Business (1952) is a Screwball Comedy with a sexy edge. The story concerns an absent-minded scientist and his experiments with developing a youth serum. Precise direction, fast action, witty lines and well-timed deliveries make the film an entertaining ride from beginning to end. Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers are great in the lead roles. It is the beautiful Marilyn Monroe, however, in an early role, that steals the show.
