    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A sequel was planned which would have revolved around the private eyes' attempts to find and capture the wookalar.
    • Goofs
      After Winship and Tart Find Justin dead, you can see that Tart's candle has a section cut out and a light bulb in it. This was done to better illuminated their faces. This same idea was used in Young Frankenstein.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Tart: [reading the tombstone engraved by Tibet's killer] To dig your own grave, is quite a sight. But to bury yourself, is not very bright. There are more to kill, and the job'll be done. Now there are five, soon there'll be a lot less.

    • Crazy credits
      During the main title sequence, the cartoon version of Inspector Winship (the Don Knotts character) is blowing on a tuba when the music credit comes up. The director of photography's name appears when two flashlight beams cross.
    • Alternate versions
      The television version which first aired in the early '80s included an extra scene, set in the dining room of Morley Manor. Inspector Winship and Dr. Tart switch identities trying to fool Mistress Phyllis and her staff.

    A Personal Favorite
    I've loved this film from the moment I saw it as a kid. To this day Tim Conway's rambling "I think that someone doesn't want anyone to know that there may be someone here that might be someone that's a killer" line still gets me laughing! Highly recommended to anyone in search of a fun (and funny) film!
