The Incredible Mr. Don Knotts: An Eye-Popping Look at His Movies

by Stephen Cox, Kevin Marhanka

Author Stephen Cox and pop culture critic Kevin Marhanka have joined forces to present the complete film works of comedian Don Knotts in THE INCREDIBLE MR. DON KNOTTS, the very first book on Knott's movie career. The authors, who interviewed Knotts at length about specific films in which he starred, have gathered contributions from Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Tim Conway, Ed Asner, and many co-stars from his forty feature-film career. Featuring more than 200 photographs--many rare and never before published--behind-the-scenes images, fascinating trivia, reviews, and a fantastic 16-page full-color insert, the movies of Don Knotts are fully explored in this collector's treasury.

My friend Jim Clark, who is the world's premiere expert on Don Knotts and The Andy Griffith Show, gave me this book to add to our family's Mayberry collection. I read some fun and interesting things in it, and I even saw Jim's name three or four times, but the book doesn't begin to do justice to Don Knotts' career. It's very conversationally written, includes a number of mistakes, and seems to have the overly simple premise that its authors really, really liked Don Knotts. Of course, so did I.

Interesting, but it reads like an extended IMDB bio. It would benefit from more personal interviews.

Somewhat interesting collection of movie reviews from the resume of Don Knotts. I think my biggest takeaway is the realization that I'm more of a fan of Barney Fife than Don Knotts.
