Reviews

" A typical Hawks comedy, turbulent, original and created an intellectual farce, packed their criticism, cult of youth ' and rejuvenation in disarming nonsense. "

" Howard Hawks presented in his brilliant screwball comedy the otherwise elegant Cary Grant as a silly child's head - hilariously funny "

" A jewelry and breathless comedy that paints a bleak picture of the boundless humanity: The escalating joke is inversely proportional to the stupidity not only the subjects, the only way out anarchy. Truly mercilessly funny and masterfully interpreted not only by Almighty Grant, Ms. Rogers and the embarrassment of not averse Charles Coburn and a cute pin-up named Marilyn Monroe. "

" This masterpiece by Howard Hawks is a brilliant screwball comedy and one of the funniest posts on the topic of " Eternal Youth ". Here one notices also the actors that it has made them fun to be able to be in some scenes again child. Particularly good are the sometimes ribald dialogues. "

" Marilyn Monroe, who by Grant as" just a kid " is described (on which Ginger Rogers countered: " But not the visible half! " ), Has something in their attitude and in their gear that needs to be called suggestive. What it suggests is something to which most of the time it is in this film, with or without taper. "

" Monkey Business is one of the best comedies of the year. "
