Bedtime for Bonzo

In '51 Ronald Reagan had probable two of his most iconic picture released. First the KKK thriller Storm Warning and then a month later... this. Bonzo always gets mentioned when talking about Reagan's movie career, making a mockery of his mediocre acting credentials being out-performed by a chimpanzee. But there is no disgrace in being put in the shadow of Bonzo. He's great! And Diana Lynn as the home wrecker/maker was adorable too. Screw the haters, Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) is fun!

Reagan and a chimp. A sign of the future.

I only watched this because of the Ramones song, and that was not nearly good enough of a reason.

Surprisingly, not as bad as one would think, considering it stars Ronald Reagan and a chimp. You're never gonna laugh out loud, but it has an occasional mildly amusing exchange. Not awful, but has little going for it besides the novelty value of watching a movie where a chimpanze almost strangled an actor who would come to be elected President of the US.
