Bedtime for Bonzo Overview:
Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) was a Comedy - Family Film directed by Frederick de Cordova and produced by Michael Kraike.
SYNOPSIS
It's nature vs. nurture as Reagan steals a chimp to prove to his would-be father-in-law that love and a proper upbringing can improve on one's genetic inheritance. Though he provides love and understanding, the chimp unleashes no end of havoc. Perfectly good fun (though somewhat unsettling seeing the future commander in chief nursemaid to a chimp) directed by longtime Tonight Show producer De Cordova.
