Summary: The best reason for a DVD player...
Review: The Private Eyes is the best comedy that I have seen in my life. My brother and I have watched this movie over and over as a "snow-covered" recording from TV years ago. (Yes, its that good!) I can't wait for this to be out on DVD (and be able to see what we missed from the bad recording). As a comedy/mystery for all ages, this movie can't be missed.

Summary: Truly a classic
Review: The only thing better than a Don Knotts comedy is a Knotts/Conway comedy. This is a HUGE favorite of my 8 yr old son and myself. Truly a good old fashioned mystery in the hilarious style of Knotts/Conway. I heard Tim Conway wrote the script. It is filled with great lines and very funny gags. Even the supporting chracters are a riot. One to watch over and over. I cannot believe this has been out of print for so long. Luckily I have an old copy but will be glad to trade up for DVD. Sure hope the disc has a trailer. Buy it for yourself AND the kids. Good family fun!

Review: Traditional Don Knotts and Tim Conway fun, Private Eyes, has all of their gags. This movie isn't done by Disney, like most Knotts and Conway movies, so it has more adult humor but is still very clean. There are lots of very funny characters in addition to Knotts and Conway's. This is a murder mystery set in England and all the action happens in a big tunnel laden mansion. I recommend this movie to everybody who enjoys light and fun comedies.

Summary: A Laugh a Minute and more.
Review: I first saw the Private Eyes when I was twelve years old, and it was the most funniest movie I ever saw. Tim Conway and Don Knotts play two very amater detectives who must solve a murder at old English mansion with a list of suspects who all look like they escaped from the looney bin. The comic chemistry between Tim and Don is very good, very Abbot and Costello like, and the jokes will keep you on the floor laughing right to the end. A must for any fan of good clean comedy. Written by Tim Conway and John Myers. Directed by Lang Elliot. Music by Peter Matz.

Review: First the DVD review: This DVD was/is put out by "Hens Tooth" video. (Hens Tooth?) Features the original theatrical trailer, which in itself is a gem; a wonderful stills gallery featuring behind the scenes making of the movie...priceless! And an awesome commentary by Tim Conway and the Director Lang Elliot who offer tons of little know facts and insight to this classic! This DVD is crisp and clear and so is the sound! The only thing this DVD lacks are the deleted and alternate scenes and alternate angles they showed on TV back in 1984. (see below for details) But, I'm happy to take what they give!I know this is going to sound odd, but this is my favorite comedy of all time! No question! I have always been a big fan of Tim Conway and Don Knotts! (Who isn't?) Both men are absolute geniuses and have been underused since this movie came out back in 1981. This movie left a huge impression on me when I was a kid! I have always wanted a house just like the one in this movie! Who wouldn't want a 252 room estate! You could almost sleep in a different room for a full year! I was equally impressed when I found out the house in this movie is a real house! It's the Biltmore House and gardens. The real house is in Asheville North Carolina. Although the Biltmore House doesn't have 252 rooms (darn!) it is an absolutely gorgeouse manor! I highly recommend you check out their website! They will even send you a free brochure which pulls out into a mini poster! I have one on my wall right now! Very cool! Anyways, back to the review...This is one movie that can be shared with the whole family! When this movie came out I was 10 years old and was so impressed by the look of it, the hysterical comedy, the cast, and the mystery storyline! You had to be there, but everytime and I mean EVERYTIME I saw this movie the theater was packed and sold out! Movies back then would run for 3-6 months at a time! (this is before even video and vcr's) I would clip every article or advertisement for this movie and I still have them today in a scrapbook! Yes, I am a fan! Tim and Don play two ameturish private detectives who are called in to investigate the murder of Lord and Lady Morley, the owners of the estate. Don plays the straight guy to a T! Tim plays a wacky, paranoidish, inventor/detective. One of Tims inventions is called a time gun, which goes off every hour! He is also afraid of a legendary creature called the "Wookalar"! A half pig half human creature that will "suck your brains right out your nose!" Very funny stuff! You have to see it for yourself! The two detectives run into a myriad of funny characters along the way in the Manors staff and housekeeprs/caretakers! Just when they think they know who the killer is..that suspect ends up dead! Hilarious! Now, here is something to note: I was extactic when this movie first aired on TV back in 1984 and happily taped it! Lucky for anyone else who taped it (and still has the tape like me!) because they showed scenes and alternate takes/angles that are NOT IN THIS DVD! They show a scene with Trisha Noble and Tim Conway eating dinner at a loooong dinner table that is just hilarious! Tim dresses up as Don's character, in hopes of "fooling" the killer, as a decoy. Trishas character just beats the crud out of Tim as she gets upset when people try to "trick" her! Hilarious!
The next scene they showed was an extra scene of Tim trying to send off a Homing pigeon, with an update of their investigation to Scotland Yard. Tim has a whole crate of homing pigeons and every time he trys to send a message something happens to the bird! So, in the deleted scene Tim paints a pigeon black, so no one can see it at night thus nothing should happen to it, and when he throws it out the window of his room...the pigeon goes but the wings stay in his hands! Cruel? Yes, by todays standards, but still funny!
Next, there is an alternate scene when the maid is preparing tea for Tim and Don and the killer slips poison in their cups. And there are a couple of alternate angle shots throughout the TV version. This is an absolute classic comedy! Buy it before it goes out of print!

Summary: Funniest Movie Ever!
Review: I first saw this film with my parents sometime in the mid-80's. We rented the VHS version and literally laughed ourselves silly. This is still my family's all-time favorite comedy. We've wondered for years if it was available on home video and have been just thrilled to learn of its release on DVD. If you don't own this video, BUY IT TODAY! You will NOT be disappointed.

Summary: PURE JOY
Review: If you are a Baby-boomer you grew up with the Saturday afternoon horror movies. This spoof of that era does for the Saturday afternoon Matinee what Gene Wilder did for "Young Frankenstein". Every single scene is jam-packed with satire and classic Tim Conway. The two main actors, Tim Conway and Don Knotts are PERFECT together. The scene is the classic who-dun-it with a touch of the "Clue" murder mystery game. You will laugh until you cry literally. If you try to judge it for anything other than satire you miss the point entirely! The movie is PURE JOY!
