    Bedtime For Bonzo (1951)

    Future US president Ronald Reagan starred as Professor Peter Boyd, who becomes a surrogate parent to a chimpanzee named Bonzo.

    Disregard the political angle and what’s left is a charming family film featuring a typically good-natured performance from Reagan.

    The sequel, Bonzo Goes To College (1952), is also worth a look.
