Kurt Russell and a Chimpanzee in Disney's Barefoot Executive (3x17)

:

It's Ape-ril at Cinemassacre Video. "All Ape Movies, All April Long!!" James and Kieran sit down (in different stores) to review Disney's The Barefoot Executive from 1971. In the film, enthusiastic mailroom clerk Steven Post (Kurt Russell) hassles the uppity director of programming, Francis Wilbanks (Joe Flynn), on a daily basis with his ideas on how to salvage the ratings of their faltering television studio, but he's always shot down. Steven's girlfriend is caring for a recently abandoned television-watching, beer-swilling chimpanzee named Raffles, and when Steven realizes that the chimp can predict television ratings, he hatches a new plan.
