| | BEDTIME FOR BONZO + I'LL TAKE SWEDEN - DVDs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | Pushed into a corner by his father's long criminal record, Peter has to raise Bonzo the chimp as a human baby in order to prove to his dean (and prospective father-in-law, played by Herbert Heyes) that biology is not destiny. |
 | | While much of it is standard '50s egghead-baiting (Peter is the classic intellectual out of touch with his feelings), there's also some softening of the stiff Eisenhower ideal, with our hero having to doff his authoritative presence and nurture the "baby" as opposed to treating it as a test subject. |
 | | Bedtime for Bonzo also stands on its own terms, however, committing to its warm-fuzzy mandate instead of brushing it off as a mere job. |
