Bedtime for Bonzo is both a lot of fun, and is much smarter than common remembrance holds . I have seen clips of bedtime in documentaries an embarrassing gimmick film that Regan did.
Regan plays a college professor of psychology who is the estranged son of a confidence trickster -known as the Professor . When this is revealed to the Dean of the College. The Dean insists that Regan break off his engagement to his daughter less their children be criminals
Regan tries to teach Bonzo honesty to prove nature is beaten by nurture. He hires a nanny to this end. A pretty blonde farm girl
He falls for her
I learn from wiki that Regan was almost strangled by Bonzo during the production of this film. I did note while watching the film that chimps are dangerous
Regan is charming and comes across as fundamentally decent. The underdog against a snobbish Dean. Everyone on campus knows Regan, and there is a lot of 50s Americana here.
(We will overlook that Regan's college colleague who is doing research on primates is German accented]
There is a fake out ending- a piece of nastiness from the Dean, who tries to sell Bonzo out from him
Not bad. not bad at all
