What happens

Monkeys, Go Home! is a 1967 American comedy film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and produced by Walt Disney Productions. Based on the novel The Monkeys by G.K. Wilkinson, the film was written by Maurice Tombragel, and stars Maurice Chevalier, Dean Jones, and Yvette Mimieux. Aside from contributing to the soundtrack of Disney's animated film The Aristocats (1970), this was Chevalier's final film role. Released on February 8, 1967, this was the first feature-length film released by Walt Disney Productions since its namesake founder's death nearly two months earlier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
