Movie Reviews of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken
Movie Review: "ATTA BOY, LUTHER!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Like others who have posted, I saw this movie when it came out in the 1960's. I was a teenager then and absolutely LOVED this movie. Don Knotts had a way about him that was uniquely all his own; a way that just naturally made people love him and laugh at him.
But of all the things that might be remembered about this movie, the one that has stood out in my mind all these past 40+ years is... every now & then during the movie you hear a loud, emphatic voice blurt out -- "ATTA BOY, LUTHER!" -- but you never see the face of the guy who says it; at least, to the best of my remembrance I don't think you ever see him.
"The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" was made during the time when most comedies were light-hearted and fit for the whole family to watch... AND... THEY WERE ACTED OUT BY GENUINELY TALENTED INDIVIDUALS, in contradistinction to the continual display of imposters and comedian-wanna-be's seen on TV and movie screens of today.
I was very saddened when I heard of Don Knotts' passing. But he will continue to live in the hearts of so many people who love him to this day.
"ATTA BOY, DON!"
Summary of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken
Remember watching this silly little comedy from your childhood? It may not have aged all that well, but is still goofy, good fun. Okay, so you can spot the stunt double, and Don Knotts's twitches are a little more obvious. Still, fans of his familiar routines will be comforted in knowing they can again watch their skinny underdog hero solve the ghost story while winning the prettiest girl in town. Knotts plays a trembling typesetter hoping to become a reporter by cracking the mystery of the local haunted house. To do so, he must spend a night there. Good-hearted, non-threatening, and completely gooey, this is the equivalent of light-weight cinematic junk food. -- Rochelle O'GormanComedy DVD Video
