So enters Scotland Yard's best! detectives on the job to investigate the murders. The husband comes back and gets bopped on the head from behind, and the culprit drives them and their car into a nearby lake. 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. 8/10ĭon Knotts and Tim Conway are THE Private Eyes in this silly film about murder. I really liked this spoof of Sherlock Holmes,starring Don Knotts and Tim Conway.Knotts is Inpector Winship and Conway is Dr.Tart.Winship is a variation of the Holmes character,but dumber.tart is a variation of Watson,but also dumber.the story is that Winship and Tart are dispatched by Scotland yard to investigate the death of a British aristocrat and his wife.the kicker is,both are 's funny seeing two Americans detectives working for Scotland Yard.Winship dresses just like Holmes and Tart dresses just like Watson.both are inept and clueless,and have caused no shortage of chaos and trouble in the states.apparently they are put on the case as punishment or to keep them from trouble,as they are an embarrassment to their superiors.as part of their investigation,they end up at the huge mansion of the aristocrat,questioning the large staff contingent (who are also very quirky),and bumbling from one false clue to the om the opening scene slapstick is the order of the day,and there is a lot of it.the characters are so dimwitted and the situations so absurd,it's hard not to laugh out loud frequently.i really had a 's not high art,but it is entertaining.

I love this movie and have to have that DVD now that I know it's available.

And when that unfortunate bird walks in loopy circles, if you don't laugh until your sides hurt or tears run down your face when you see it, you must have no soul so i don't want to know you.

I caught it originally on HBO in the days BEFORE cable TV and that one scene where the two send off a carrier pigeon but forget to open the glass door before throwing it in the air makes me laugh even as I'm typing this. Don Knotts as a 'brilliant detective with COnway as his befuddled partner makes it all the more 'I have to see this one' kind of movie. I also love Sherlock Holmes so this made this movie a must see for me.

I was never a big fan of the gang from Mayberry (especially Goober who makes my skin crawl, but I digress) but the Don Knotts character I will always fondly remember is the nervous guy on the man in the street interviews with Steve Allen and the one that was such a great match for the hysterically funny Tim Conway. I was just watching a bunch of people talking about the Andy Griffith Show ans the Don Knotts Barney Fife character and immediately, I thought about this film and one scene that still makes me laugh out loud when I think of it. Yes, this movie was funny and the best movie Conway and Knots were in together. There are also multiple attempts to use pigeons to send word back to the yard. All the while Conway's character talking about the sinister wookilar monster, a creature with a pig head. Yes, interrogating deaf people, people with no tongues and a whole lot of others that are a bit off and such. Though through it all Knots and Conway shine the brightest as they try to make heads or tails of the investigation interrogating everyone in the house at the time of the death and so on.

The house they are in is neat to as it has many secret doors and passage ways in it. As they go through the case more people are murdered with a very badly done poem with each death. The story has to private eyes played by Knots and Conway investigating what appears to be a murder. It also was actually a good whodunit movie even though that was exactly what this movie was trying to spoof to a certain degree. This movie was a favorite of mine as a kid as it had me laughing the entire time.
