If you life Don... - Gaucho
This is a very economical rent, for you get 4 for the price of 1. When all of these films are grouped together, you tend to overlook that many of the same jokes, characters, and plots end up in many of his movies. Not that this is bad: these movies deliver only upon the solitary promise of showing of Don Knotts. His male costars are just furniture and he is seen with some very lovely female costars (Joan Freeman, Barbara Rhoades, Anne Francis) who are above average in acting, but the star is Don.
The first 3 films are standard, but the last film (The Love God?) is a bit of a break: the first half is a scathing satire on the 1st Ammendment. For 45 min., the film really works...and then slides into an incoherent mess, becoming just like the rest of his films (only less organized).
Good for Don fans and easily overlooked because you have 3 more tries to back that one up.well worth it! - koth
The very fact that you get four movies for the price of one should sell you on this, but as far as comedy goes you can't bea Don knotts! My person favorite is the Shakiest gun in the west, which I have loved since childhood.
The other jem is the Ghost and Mr. Chicken, which also showcases Don Knotts' physical comedy.
Forever the loveable coward, Knotts is to date among the best film comedians ever!
Get it... you won't regret it.
