The Private Eyes [Blu-ray] by Henstooth Video
DescriptionAn old dark house…a double murder…a beautiful heiress…a ghoulish staff…a message from the grave…and to sort it all out, two of the most comically inept bunglers ever to give private detection a bad name! Don Knotts and Tim Conway star as Inspector Winship and Doctor Tart in this comedy delight spiced with goosebumps. When Winship and Tart are engaged to investigate the deaths of Lord and Lady Morley, they find nothing unusual about the fact that their authorization comes directly from the late Lordship himself. The Private Eyes is the perfect vehicle for these two masters of comic timing, who manage to wreak havoc on nearly everything that's sacred to classic mystery melodrama. It's a merry chase as they fumble their way to a most unlikely solution! Color, 91 Minutes, Comedy, Rated PG. Special Features include Audio Commentary by Tim Conway and Director Lang Elliott, Photo Gallery, Original Theatrical Trailer and Optional English Subtitles. 1080p High Definition Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) / Audio 2.0 Dolby Digital.

Editorial ReviewDon 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. People get killed, their bodies disappear, Knotts and Conway wander aimlessly through secret passageways, dimly seeking some way out of this movie. Conway cowrote the script, so he gets most of the blame; Knotts was probably just happy to have the work. –Bret Fetzer
