Hot monkey on man action. This from the maestro himself – “Monkeys are pretty raunchy animals. When Ella has to come on to Allan, we actually waited until she was in heat. So when she was flirting with Allan, she wasn’t acting! The trainer shared that tip with me and we got the scene exactly as we wanted it.” (In fairness to Boo, although they exploited her normal cycles, her’s is one of the most extraordinary animal performances I’ve ever seen in a film. She should have won a tiny, little monkey shaped Oscar for that role. Haven’t been able to find out what happened to her afterwards)
