For decades, millions of fans of The Andy Griffith Show have adored Don Knotts's performance as Deputy Barney Fife. After earning five Emmy Awards for his work on the classic sitcom, the actor surrendered his bullet to Sheriff Andy Taylor and hit the trail to make movies.
Now author Stephen Cox and popular culture critic Kevin Marhanka have joined forces to examine the complete film works of comedian Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts, the first ever book on Knotts's movie career. The authors began researching this book shortly after meeting don Knotts in the early 1990s, interviewing Knotts at length about the films in which he starred and gathering contributions from Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Tim Conway, Ed Asner, and many costars form his thirty-plus movies.
This "eye-popping" compendium of comedy will amaze even die-hard Mayberry fans. Beginning with his first film with friend Andy Griffith in 1958 (No Time for Sergeants) and ending with a big-screen role opposite Tobey Maguire in 1998 (Pleasantville), the nervous, wide-eyed Knotts made family films that have become cult classics. Think The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Ghost and Mr. chicken, The Apple Dumpling Gang, and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, just to name a few.
Featuring more than 200 photographs--many rare and never before published--behind-the-scenes images, fascinating trivia, reviews, and a fantastic sixteen-page photo insert, the moves of Don Knotts are fully explored in this collector's treasury.
