JLRMovieReviews Don Knotts and Tim Conway are THE Private Eyes in this silly film about murder. In the beginning, we see an elderly rich couple in their Rolls-Royce, just before going out to dinner for the evening, as the husband goes in the mansion of a house to retrieve his gloves or something or other, when an unknown assailant (oh no) from the back seat strangles the poor wife. The husband comes back and gets bopped on the head from behind, and the culprit drives them and their car into a nearby lake. So enters Scotland Yard's best! detectives on the job to investigate the murders. But wait there's a shadow parading through the secret crevices and compartments throughout the mansion and killing all the help, while the detectives are trying to figure out their assignment. That is the plot in a nutshell. I admit that needs the right kind of easy-going mind-set going into this type of film, because if you don't have it, then all these shenanigans and one-liners will seem simple, childish, and downright dumb. But I found myself really getting into it with some really good laughs. Costarring Bernard Fox, "Dr. Bombay" from the hit TV show "Bewitched,"this is a silly but entertaining murder mystery that delivers.

Matthew Saylor In the same era of true family entertainment movies like The Apple Dumpling Gang and Cloak and Dagger, I grew up watching this movie over and over again. Since Don Knott's recent death and subsequent attention, it seemed this movie was never mentioned. For whatever reason, I think it's terrific. Classic slap-stick for those of us who miss the days of real comedic screenplay, and also zero special affects on a mediocre budget makes it all the more real. The music is perfect and the Biltmore grounds even more so. If watching Threes Company reruns aren't enough to get your Don Knotts dose, then this movie is for you. We miss you Don!

NCMountainDavis This is a typical Don Knotts comedy in the same caliber as "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". I actually went to the theater to see this when it first came out and was surprised to see that it was filmed in a very familiar location, The Biltmore House in Asheville, N.C. Don Knotts is the overbearing lead detective as Tim Conway is the clumsy assistant trying to solve a homicide at the huge mansion. Don Knotts is more cast as the character of Mr.Furley in "Three's Company" than he is Barney Fife. Tim Conway is typical Tim from the Carol Burnette Show but it really is both of them together that makes this movie so funny. The movie is clean and would be very enjoyable by the whole family as these two goof-balls are hilarious.

Me Growing up it was Andy and Three's company and so on that had campy humor. It was the same case that was "funny" for the slap stick type of humor of what was considered funny "in the 70's and 80's" and so on for other TV shows for their time. In my opinion watching this movie reflecting back to the time it was and remembering it as kid to now was just great. The humor that made me smile was nice and made me think back to the days when i watched those shows, as i often do on nick at night, to laugh as I did then and still do even on reruns. Tim Conway and Don Knotts do a great job of muddling thru trying to solve a mystery with a great supporting cast.
