Chérie, je me sens rajeunir

It's worth the price of admission to see Marilyn Monroe showing her leg to a nerdy Cary Grant early on, and then tool around with him in a sports car and go roller skating with him, which they do after he's taken a youth potion accidentally created by one of his lab chimps. As you might guess, there are some pretty silly things in the script, but it's a cute story, and to see Grant and Ginger Rogers carrying on as young adults and later children tickled me too. It seems to me that the film may have served as the inspiration for other films, like 'The Nutty Professor, and some of its content may have seemed fresher in 1952, but it's still entertaining because of this star power. In smaller parts, the performance from the chimpanzee is impressive, and I also liked child actor George Winslow, who deadpans his lines in that heavy voice of his. Lastly, it made me smile to hear Grant and Rogers alluding to rediscovering memorable nights of passion from when they were younger, in that restrained but sexy way of the period. There are some nice lines at the end too: "You're old only when you forget you're young. ... It's a word you keep in your heart, a light you have in your eyes, someone you hold in your arms."
