I dunno. Pretty lame,contrived "comedy" using Don Knotts' Barney Fife character as a vehicle. Altho, Don had a succesful run with these kinds of films in the mid-60s. What can I say? I can't bash it. It's watchable and there are a couple of funny lines and moments in it. As for the other so-called comedy bits in it, I guess you have to like that kind of stuff. I'd say, stick with "The Incredible Mr. Limpet"...I think. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. Maybe that's the best audience for this flick---I'll bump it up to two stars then.
