A longer-than-usual Joyce, based on the true story of a woman who raised a gorilla from infancy.

Based on a true story. Eccentric, rich Gertrude Lintz, married to a man who loved and pandered to her adopted all sorts of animals. Lintz was actually the first person to raise a gorilla orphan. Buddy, the urbane almost human ape, was that gorilla. A wonderful story for all ages.
