Classic, cannot be replicated
This Don Knotts vehicle made immediately after his days on the Andy Griffith show ended has now become a classic. Knotts’ plays the nervous typesetter who spends the night in a haunted mansion. He eventually wins the beautiful girl and solves a murder mystery, completely by accident of course. 9-10
