From this hilarious situation, Walt Disney produced the wackiest, wildest romantic-comedy, "Monkey Go starring Dean Jones, Yvette Mimieux, and the incomparable Maurice Chevalier, and the results add up to solid family entertainment. Based on G. K. Wilkinson's popular novel, "The Monkeys," this laugh-loaded Gallic romp brought France to Hollywood.

A French story with French locales and practically an all-French cast turned the studio backlot into a Provence setting. Heading the stellar line-up is Maurice Chevalier, the beloved performer, who as the kindly idealistic priest, Father Sylvain, delivers one of his finest screen performances. This 78-year-young gentleman has been captivating audiences around the world since he first embraced show business 67 years ago. The star of many delightful films like "Love Me Tonight," "The Merry Widow," "Can-Can," i and Disney's "In Search of the Castaways," Chevalier still reigns as the boulevardier of stage, screen and television. One of Hollywood's brightest young comedy talents, Dean Jones endows the role of Hank, an ex-GI-turned olive-grower, with his inimitable brand of humor and charm.

His recent movie successes include "The New Internes," "Under the Yum Yum Tree," and Disney's two recent comedy hits, "That Darn Cat" and "The Ugly Dachshund." The blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty Yvette Mimieux, in her initial screen appearance under the Disney banner, portrays the vivacious French girl, Maria, who loses her heart to the handsome Yank. Born of French and Mexican parentage and fluent in both the French and Spanish languages, Yvette is afforded her first screen role to draw on her Gallic background. Since making her movie bow in 1959, she has starred in a variety of hits like "The Light in the Piazza," "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm," "Toys in the Attic" and "The Reward." A handsome young Gallic charmer destined for screen stardom following his American film debut in the Disney comedy is Bernard Woringer. As Cartucci, the local butcher and ardent admirer of the attractive Yvette, this young veteran of Paris' stage and television is the most exciting new European personality to appear on the Hollywood scene in recent years. In the role of Paraulis, a conniving realtor, is the distinguished French actor Clement Harari.

Known to film circles abroad as the "French Peter Lorre," this master of screen villainy portrays a comic culprit for a change and gets many of the biggest laughs in the Disney film.
