Show Business

Show Business is the profession that Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts are in, playing second and third banana to a trained monkey. They get a chance to go to the Pacific coast but with the monkey and with snooty musical comedy star Anita Garvin.

Through a combination of circumstances the monkey decides it wants to ride with the rest of Garvin's troupe. Think of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag in Some Like It Hot. They had a sense of discretion that the monkey does not.

I have to say that both Thelma and Zasu are much upstaged by their little friend in Show Business.
