Movie Reviews of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Movie Review: Can You Curb Your Tongue For A Few Minutes?
Summary: 5 Stars
After I read the other reviews of TGAMC I had to add my own. What can I say? I know this film is as cornball as you can get, but that's why I love it! And I absolutely love Don Knotts! Please, please don't ever remake this film. This movie is just as funny now as it was 40 years ago. Who can forget "I'm having chicken noodle soup with Alma." Or the courtroom scene. Charles Lane: "Can you curb your imagination for a few minutes?" Don Knotts: "Can you curb your tongue for a few minutes?" "Atta boy, Luther?" I was amazed by all the people who said how creepy the organ music was (and still is)! I know. I know. It still gets to me. And I'm 54! And I remember how scared I was when Luther ran down the stairs and saw the garden shears in Mrs. Simmons' throat and the blood running down. Just a really good, clean movie. We need more of these.Movie Review: Finally A Gem From My Childhood on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie won my heart back in 1966 when it was released and I saw it when I was 12 years old. It entertained me then and later on in life, I enjoyed it more being able to understand some of the jokes meant for adults.Don Knotts gives a great performance as a shy, bumbling, frightened reporter wannabe, who from the opening credits begins to lay the goundwork for that character. Along with the unmistakable music of Vic Mizzy, who also did the Addams Family Theme song.
The supporting cast are also terrific including Dick Sargent (who played the 2nd Darren on Bewitched) and Rita Shaw playing the after life believing Mrs. Halcyon Maxwell.
I am so glad this will be released in the Wide Screen format because it will be like seeing it again at the theater in 1966.
Also, this movie is great for kids and fun for adults.
Movie Review: 'atta boy Luther
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sentimental movie for me. I remember well going to see this as a 10-yr-old boy with my mom & late dad. For weeks after seeing it, my dad would say "Atta boy, Luther" any time any of us kids did anything right. My mom would say "...and they used Bon Ami" whenever appropriate. I thought it was one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen as a kid. On the other hand, I was scared to death when the organ started playing by itself (pretty tame by today's standards). As it's said, "They don't make 'em like this anymore". Any fan of Don Knotts should see this light-hearted film. It's not CITIZEN KANE, but it's enjoyable as a look at the mid-sixties pop-comedy genre.Movie Review: Love retro cars and fashions...?
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love retro cars and fashions, take a look at this gorgeous old movie. Starring a youthful Don Knotts, playing Luther, a nice, very nervous little guy who has a chance for a big story and has to spend the night in the old Simmons mansion on the anniversary of a notorious murder. A line from the film is: "they say they couldn't get the blood off the organ keys... and they used Bon Ami!!"
One of the funniest films of its time, it's a bit tame by today's standard. But if you're looking for a movie for a kids Halloween slumber party this is it. The cast consists of some familiar faces that appeared in "Bewitched". It's a beautiful production and very enjoyable.
Movie Review: Funny, Family Movie, Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
Don Knotts plays a man who wants to be the newspaper reporter and yet can't quite make the stand he needs to in order to be respected. The others in the newspaper office look down on him and see him as a mild mannered man.
He bravely decides to spend the night in a haunted mansion to solve the mystery of the home. By doing this he will eventually solve a mystery, get the girl and show the others what he is made of inside.
This is a family movie that is funny and sweet and just plain fun to watch. We giggled and laughed and have watched it several times over.
Well worth the money.
Enjoy.
