Product Description:
If there is any doubt about the genius of the late, great Don Knotts--simply ask the millions of Andy Griffith Show fans who have adored his performance as Deputy Barney Fife on television for decades. After earning five Emmy Awards for his work on the classic sitcom, the actor surrendered his bullet to the sheriff and hit the trail to make movies.
Now, author Stephen Cox and pop culture critic Kevin Marhanka have joined forces to present the complete film works of comedian Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts, the very first book on Knott's movie career. The authors, who interviewed Knotts at length about specific films in which he starred, have gathered contributions from Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Tim Conway, Ed Asner, and many co-stars from his forty feature-film career.
This "eye-popping" compendium of comedy will amaze even the die-hard Mayberry fans. Beginning with his first film with friend Andy Griffith in 1958 (No Time for Sergeants), the nervous, wide-eyed Knotts made family films that have become cult classics. Think The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Ghost & Mr. Chicken, The Apple Dumpling Gang, and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, just to name a few.
Featuring more than 200 photographs--many rare and never before published--behind-the-scenes images, fascinating trivia, reviews, and a fantastic 16-page full-color insert, the movies of Don Knotts are fully explored in this collector's treasury.

This book had me entertained from start to finish. I have always loved the amazing Don Knotts and this book is the only one I've seen that does his life and career justice. Because they had the cooperation of Don Knotts himself (there is a fascinating interview with him about his personal favorite film "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"), the authors were able to present a complete volume that covers all the bases. This handsome coffee table worthy book includes all kinds of rare behind-the-scenes photos ... Read More

Being of that generation, I admit it, I watched Three's Company growing up. Mr. Furley is the character I most associate with Don Knotts. I've always been a fan and this book helped me remember other roles of his. The Disney movies of the 70's and especially on Scooby-Doo! Since reading this (cool cover and graphics too) I've discovered The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, a new favorite. Now, onto Mayberry...

Based on other Amazon reviews -- and the fact I recognized this book was penned (in part) by Stephen Cox -- I bought this book two weeks ago. I have many of Cox's books, (the best of which IMHO is The Addams Chronicles) and the Knotts book is surely among his top efforts. I am thoroughly enjoying this book and the way it is structured, with individual coverage on specific films as well as interviews with cast members from those films.
MY ONLY AVERSION TO THIS BOOK - which is no fault ... Read More

Until reading this book, I didn't know much about Don Knotts beyond the fact that he was Barney Fife, Mr. Furley and in a handful of movies I watched as a kid. This book is "Chock full of Knotts"; Don Knotts from A to Z. You know, everything you always wanted to know about Don Knotts, but were afraid to ask!!
The authors take you along Jesse Donald Knotts' journey, starting with his humble beginnings in Morgantown, WV (where he slept in the kitchen and was always on the lookout for boarders ... Read More

Steve Cox and Kevin Marhanka remind us that Don Knotts was much more than THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. Don had a talent and instinct to make us laugh with his timing, physicality, and vocal delivery & inflection. And he brought those assets to motion pictures too.
Don's film career is often considered secondary to his work on television. But it's no less entertaining, and no less important to his life and career. In small movie roles, Don stole scenes from Doris Day, Phil Silvers (no easy task) and ... Read More
