This is Don Knott's most enjoyable film from the 1960's.
Due in no small measure to the wonderful supporting cast. Including Hal Smith who played Otis Campbell the town drunk from The Andy Griffith Show. This film is full of great character actors whose names you would never recognize but whose faces you will never forget. The music from the great TV composer of the 60's Vic Mizzy is instantly associated with numerous TV shows like The Munsters. Credit the fuzz guitar to Tommy Todesco. The plot of this cult classic is unimportant, but leave it to Knotts to solve the mystery without ever quite knowing what is happening. Charles Lane once again does his superb job as the pinch faced, squinty eyed lawyer. All in all, a very funny, snappy film.
