Don Knotts and Tim Conway star in The Private Eyes, a 1980 comedy about two bumbling detectives solving a murder. It's an impressively incompetent affair. Every ancient joke falls with a muffled thud as Knotts and Conway ham their way through the pointless story: The lord and lady of a capacious manor are killed, and the lord's ghost seems to have returned to knock off the staff one by one. There's an austere housekeeper, a snooty butler with compulsive twitches, a sexy upstairs maid, a deformed groomsman, and a buxom young heir to the estate, who of course is going to be in some state of undress before the movie is over.

Well the only milestone that this movie has is that it was the first movie made by a then little known production company called Tri-Star Pictures. But that's all. The jokes do not work. It's spoff of the Rocky movies looks a bit more patheic then funny and the script has co-written by Conway and John Myers has all the makings of one that is so full of holes and cardboard charcterization. This movie went straight to cable and we all know that Tri-Star was later bought by Sony. With movies like these, no wonder Tri-Star never really took off on it's own.

The 1979 sequel to The Apple Dumpling Gang reunites Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves with hearts of gold, this time helping out a soldier (Tim Matheson) whose commander (Harry Morgan) is being undermined by a villainous lieutenant. The film is for kids, but the adult-heavy plot takes this movie in a different direction than its predecessor, which focused on three adorable orphans. The slapstick comedy is good, and supporting cast, Morgan, Matheson, Ruth Buzzi and Jack Elam, are enjoyable, but the freshness of the first film is missing. --Tom KeoghMore Info About This DVD Actor(s): Tim Conway - Don Knotts Director(s): Vincent McEveety DVD Release Date: Released the 14 January 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours
