How to Frame a Figg (1971)

How to Frame a Figg: Directed by Alan Rafkin. With Don Knotts, Joe Flynn, Edward Andrews, Elaine Joyce. Don Knotts is Hollis Figg, the dumbest bookkeeper in town. When the city fathers buy a second-hand computer to cover up their financial shenanigans, they promote Figg to look after things, knowing he’ll never catch on. Their plan backfires when Figg becomes self-important and accidentally discovers their plot.

“This outing of Knotts includes one of his best sidekicks ever, Frank Welker. Welker makes the film. Knotts and Welker compete for the laughs and both receive plenty. Knotts works for a small u0026quot;no whereu0026quot; town where the city is being run by some of the most ignorant officials. When things go wrong the city fathers, allow Knotts to take the fall. Frank Welkeru0026#39;s character befriends Knotts and together they stumble together to clear up the mess and Knottu0026#39;s good name. This film shows the usual Knottu0026#39;s scared to death character that made him famous for years on television and film. This may have been Knottsu0026#39; last good outing. When you have an extra 90 minutes, get a good old fashioned laugh a great icon, Don Knotts.”
