    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The furry leading actor was once so intrigued by a tie that Ronald Reagan was wearing, that he yanked on it hard, almost suffocating his human co-star.
    • Goofs
      When Bonzo is passed through the window, he has a skirt on that soon disappears.
    • Quotes

      Hans Neumann: Who expects a psychologist to think? Especially when you are so busy thinking what you think other people are thinking.

      Featured in It's Showtime (1976)

    Actually Quite Entertaining
    I found this to be a rather cute comedy, which has gotten a bit of a strange reputation owing to the fact that the "Gipper" plays an unusual role. But Reagan does play comedy well (it's unfortunate that he didn't make more comedies in his day), and Walter Slezak is amusing in a nice, if a bit stereotypical kind of part as his German professor/mentor.
