Research chemist Barnaby Fulton works on a fountain of youth pill for a chemical company. One of the labs chimps gets loose in the laboratory and mixes chemicals, but then pours the mix into the water cooler. When trying one of his own samples, washed down with water from the cooler, Fulton begins to act just like a twenty-year-old and believes his potion is working. Soon his wife and boss are also behaving like children.

If you are looking for a simple entertaining classic, this absolutely fits the bill. And with the names everyone loves too!

Good old fashioned zany fun, perfectly cast. I just adore Cary Grant & he’s fantastic in this role.

First Marx Brothers film written for the screen rather than the stage and of course very funny.

It’s an odd movie. The plot is simple but inconsequential. But I appreciate its tone & the untethered, unfiltered acting of Grant & Rodgers.

Hilarious situational comedy with Grant in dry professor mode. It’s ridiculous with Monroe literally acting like an ape, but it’s all funny.

Should be a zany laugh-riot with Grant & Ginger Rogers taking turns behaving like children. Instead it was just terribly mild. A waste.
