Editorial Review:
Don 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
Two detectives are engaged to investigate the deaths of Lord and Lady Morley, but their authorization comes from the ghost of the late Lordship, and the manor house where they lived is peopled by very odd characters.

Don Knott's big eyes and Tim Coway's slap stick, who could ask for more! It is so funny to have Don Knott and the smart one. As a great fan of these two, this is one of my favorits
Rating: - Nothing but laughs
I saw this movie in the theatres with my family when I was a kid. Still funny! I bought this movie to show my husband and kids. They loved it. This DVD was pricy and the quality of the DVD so-so. But if you just want to own this movie for true "FAMILY" entertainment, go for it!
Rating: - Great Movie For All Ages!!!!
I watched this movie as a kid and it became my favorite. I always wanted the oportunity to buy the movie so my children could watch it and enjoy it too. As I watched the movie with my son, it was wonderful to watch his expressions throughout the movie. This is a great movie for all ages and a must for children.
