At last the secret has been revealed! Prime-time network programming is determined by a chimpanzee! That's the premise of
Disney's
The Barefoot Executive, a highly amusing spoof of the TV bizz.
Kurt Russell plays a page boy at a bottom-rated TV network. Stuck with his girl friend's (
Heather North) pet chimp,
Russell discovers that his hairy friend has a genuine gift for picking hit TV series. Appointed head of programming,
Russell keeps the fact that the chimp is doing all the work hidden from the public. But when his former boss
Joe Flynn and his rival
John Ritter find out, all heck breaks loose (we'd say "all hell", but this is a
Disney flick). A strong supporting cast of comic "regulars"-
Wally Cox,
Harry Morgan,
Alan Hewitt,
Hayden Rorke et al.--keeps
The Barefoot Executive moving at a fast clip
