Walk Like a Man
What does a $30,000,000 inheritance mean to a guy who thinks he's a dog? It means his brother Reggie wants him to roll over and play dead.
Directed by Melvin Frank
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A broad, high-energy comedy built on the absurdist premise of a feral man navigating civilization and family greed, played largely for laughs and physical humor.
Bobo, a feral man raised by wolves, is reunited with his family by a researcher. However, this disappoints his brother, Reggie, who has no intentions of sharing the family inheritance with him.
