Monkey Business in the Back
by Hitchcoc • 2019-08-26
8/10

"Two plot lines are at work. One is Rebecca's allowing a book club of elderly women to meet in the back room. They are a bunch of sots and get totally out of control. The other is a feud between Cliff and Norm after Cliff stiffs his friend over some painting he hired done. Suffice it to say, simians play a big part in this. It has some really great moments...."
