Don Knotts


Loved Don Knotts in this. Even though it was a small part I just loved it when he stroked her leg; after he protested that he was married.

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

Don Knotts was good in every thing he did. That's how I found this movie in fact. After watching Gus and Herbie goes to Monte Carlo I checked out Don's IMDB page to see what else he has done and I got MOD off of netflix. I liked it, It makes me want to go back and see what else is available from before my time.

Dear Mr. Knotts was a regular customer of mine in the years before he died. I have always loved the scene he does with DD in this movie and I asked him about it. With crystal clear clarity he recalled that being able to run his hand up DD's leg for the scene was a HUGE thrill for him, but he was nervous to do it to this lovely lady. He said his weeks on the film were very fun and special and he was very happy with the way his small but importnat role turned out.

People are their principles.

Wow, great story. I love Don's work, especially during the '60s, and always wanted to read more about his great little role in this movie. He and Doris,and James Garner were terrific together. Don and Doris were a perfect pairing. Don was said to be a sweet, shy, and modest guy, and yet also a bit of a ladies man. It's funny to see him go from one to the other and back again in these two scenes. I wish Don and Doris did more movies together. Don and Phil Silvers were great together, and so were Don and Doris. Thanks.

If you have any other stories or memories of Don, please pass them on.

Don was typecast as Barney Fife, and practically every role he did after that one was the loveable, bumbling, high-strung guy. It was refreshing to see him as a classy confident guy and wearing a sharp suit to boot.
