“Let me set the record straight right off the top. u0026quot;The Private Eyesu0026quot; is no comedy classic. But it is a fun film that will amuse adults and make kids laugh and shriek with delight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTim Conway and Don Knotts play a couple of bumbling (what else?) Scotland Yard detectives assigned to investigate a murder at a castle in England (actually North Carolina). While in the castle they stumble across loads of creepy characters and situations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor anyone who has enjoyed this type of film (u0026quot;Hold That Ghostu0026quot; with Abbott and Costello, and u0026quot;The Ghost and Mr. Chickenu0026quot; come to mind), u0026quot;The Private Eyesu0026quot; delivers the goods. Of course if you sit there and try to analyze it too deeply you are apt to dislike it. Just sit back with the family and have a good laugh.”
