Movie Reviews of How to Frame a Figg
Movie Review: Laugh Gently, But Laugh Loudly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don Knotts was one of the most underated comics of his time. Just the way he'd want it. He'd just shimmy in place, stammer, and drop the microphone if he tried to accept any accolades anyway. This particular film sums up his homespun humor and at the same time gave him a bit of a backbone to play for the only time in his career (and whenever I think of the quintessential example of his persona i keep going back to the cameo appearance he makes in 'It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' with Phil Silvers...if ever there were two polar opposites in screen presence it had to be the glib, con artistry of Phil Silvers up against the country
bumpkin of Don Knotts...but that's another movie). As I was saying Don gets to exhibit all of his comedic timing and a new aspect of his character to great advantage. Knotts made gentle comedies that spring out of his everyman cowardice and this is no exception. If you like his work you'll love this movie...if you never got his schtick...you won't.
Movie Review: This is the Best of all of Don's films!
Summary: 5 Stars
With "The Ghost And Mr.Chicken" a very close scenes in this movie are just a hoot, especially the ones in the diner and the bowling alley. Even though Don is still in his Barney Fife personna, the nervous, lovable fool; you still get your money's worth here. He even has a drunken scene, watch for him trying to hang up the mink coat and the explanation given for the secretary's numerous minks! Love the ending, too. What a wonderful cast, the same familiar catchy music from his other Universal films and repeated gags. You will howl with laughter. Even though we all were sad when he left The Andy Griffith Show after only five years, thank goodness he signed with Universal to do these type of comedies, and with Disney to pair with the likes of Tim Conway, too!!!Movie Review: Don has done it again. Very entertaining.
Summary: 5 Stars
Made in 1970, this was Don's final film for several years until making a comeback in Disney's 'The Apple Dumpling Gang' in 1975.The theme stays with you long after the DVD player has been switched off. A slew of great supporting actors such as Joe Flynn, Edward Andrews and voice artist Frank Welker, make this a highly enjoyable romp, especially with the addition of sexy Yvonne Craig and wholesome Elaine Joyce as Don's female interest.
The rare trailer featuring Yvonne and Don is a must see.
Movie Review: Good, Wholesome Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great movie that can be viewed by anyone in the family! Hollywood seems to have forgotten about its past when stars like Don Knotts could entertain us (I laughed just watching him make those funny faces!) without resorting to gratuitious sex or violence. Maybe they should buy this video and try to learn it all over again?! Some may call this humor dated or antiquated, but I call it good, clean fun! Don Knotts was one of the greatest in the field of comedy!Movie Review: How to Frame a Figg
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Don Knotts fan. If I'm tired and irritable all I have to do is put on a Don Knotts movie and watch it. He always puts me in a good mood. The same goes for Andy Griffith. I love those two actors. In my opinion you can't go wrong buying a Don Knotts movie or an Andy Grittith movie. I love anything with Don Knotts or Andy Grittith.
