2.0 out of 5 stars Nearing the end of the line, Jan 19 2004

By	Yarby "yarby" (Medina, OH United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This work of Don Knotts' doesn't hold a candle to "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" or "The Reluctant Astronaut". One of the most disappointing aspects is that Knotts is not the bumbler he was in the other movies, but place second fiddle in that aspect to a young unknown (to this day) actor playing a city garbage collector.

As for the transfer of this movie, however, all I can say is...it's too bad some of the movie companies don't put this kind of care into some of the classics....it's beautiful.

While I can't really recommend the film on its own merits, I will say that if you are a fan of the movie, you will be thrilled with the job MGM has done with putting it on DVD.

Film and trailer are both anamorphic.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Entertaining Don Knotts Film, Nov 10 2003

By	M. Hart "Sci-Fi Fan" (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Alan Rafkin (1928-2001, who mostly directed television shows and was nominated for four Emmies and won one in 1982) directed his last bit-screen film with "How To Frame A Figg" in 1971. Taking place in a small fictional town, a bungling city accountant, Hollis Alexander Figg (Don Knotts), becomes the unwitting patsy of the town's mayor (Mayor Chisholm played by Edward Andrews), the town's wealthiet man (Old Charley Spaulding played by Parker Fennelly) as well as several other high-ranking city officials who have been embezzling the town's money. To prevent from being caught, the embezzlers fire all of the town's accountants, except for Hollis so that he can operate their newly purchased (but used), room-filling computer known as LEO. While demonstrating the computer to his friend Prentiss Gates (Frank Welker), Hollis stumbles upon a questionable city contract that Prentiss (who works for the city's sanitation department) has in his waste collection cart. To keep Hollis from finding any other questionable financial statements, Mayor Chisholm appoints Hollis to be a commissioner with his own private secretary, Glorianna Hastings (Yvonne Craig, who is better known as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon in the 1966-1968 TV series "Batman") to the chagrin Hollis' girlfriend, Ema Letha Kusic (Elaine Joyce), who works as a diner waitress. Hollis remains oblivious to being used until Old Charley Spaulding is ready to lower the boom upon him and is forced to find a way to prove his innocence.

"How To Frame A Figg" isn't known as well as some of his previous films ("The Incredible Mr. Limpet" in 1964, "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" in 1966, etc.) due to its somewhat weak plot, but it's still a very funny film that can entertain both children and adults alike. Memorable scenes in the film include Hollis' fingers getting stuck in a bowling ball, Old Charlie Spaulding using his cane in city hall meetings, the ketchup scene at the diner, the garbage truck delivery, and the search for extension cords. Overall, I rate "How To Frame a Figg" with 4 out of 5 stars. Other memorable characters in the film include Kermit Sanderson (Joe Flynn, 1925-1974), Commissioner Henderson (Bill Zuckert, 1915-1997) and Dr. Schmidt (Pitt Herbert, 1914-1989).

5.0 out of 5 stars Don has done it again. Very entertaining., Sep 3 2003

By	Trevor William Douglas (Gorokan, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Made in 1970, this was Don's final film for several years until making a comeback in Disney's 'The Apple Dumpling Gang' in 1975.
The theme stays with you long after the DVD player has been switched off. A slew of great supporting actors such as Joe Flynn, Edward Andrews and voice artist Frank Welker, make this a highly enjoyable romp, especially with the addition of sexy Yvonne Craig and wholesome Elaine Joyce as Don's female interest.
The rare trailer featuring Yvonne and Don is a must see.

Mr. Knotts movies represent a clean, small-town American idealism that is very different from the dark, "streetwise" comedys that are so prelevent today. Read more
