resident of a french village attempt to stop an american from use monkey in place of human worker on his newly acquire olive farm . poor screenplay from g. k. wilkinson book the monkey actually want u to sympathize with the land owner and who should perhaps be force to do his own olive picking . forgettable disney product with the expect slapstick interlude be well make and if not fresh . ok performance by dean jones and yvette mimieux and wily maurice chevalier ( in his final film ) and but the argument at the center of the story isn not expand upon and and the romance which sketchily develop between dean and yvette seem like an afterthought as well . obviously and this be aim at a young crowd and but why not give kid something to think about as well a to laugh at . half from .
