Before there was Jim Carey, believe me, there was Don Knotts. <br /><br />Jim is a master at contorting his face in any number of comical ways <br /><br />but let's face itthen there is Don Knotts. <br /><br />Don wrote the BOOK on facial hysteria! His numerous facial twitches, bug-eyed wonder and slack-jawed dumbfoundedness are a thing to behold. <br /><br />And all of it is wonderfully on display in The Love God? <br /><br />Don plays the meek editor of a bird magazine which has fallen upon hard times and just like that a saviour arrives in the personage of a rather seedy, slimey girly magazine publisher who manipulates poor Abner(Knotts) into turning his beloved Peacock magazine into a SMUT publication! <br /><br />Well, one thing turns into another and before you know it Abner is leading a swinging lifestyle complete with his own Peacock clubs and a posse of Pussycat girls at his beck and call. And, the real love of his life, the ministers' daughter RoseEllen left back home waiting ..and waiting, for Abner to come home. <br /><br />Abner is strung along in his new publishing venture by a fast city slicker editor by the name of Miss Lisa Lamonica played by Anne Francis. <br /><br />As much of a tour-de-force that Knotts is, leaving us in stitches as he muggs his way through the grand musical number performed at the Peacock club, it is all equaled by the talent and charm of miss Francis. With her trademark beauty mark at the corner of her smile Anne is sharp, funny, beautiful and sexy all rolled into one. This movie cemented my attraction to her and now i want to see every movie she's been in! <br /><br />In summationif you want to laugh till it hurts watching Don do his thing and be smitten by the lovely miss Francis, try The Love God? <br /><br />Music by Vic Mizzy. of course.
Viewer Reviews
If you want some good solid laughs, you've got to see this unexpectedly hilarious movie! On the surface, you'd think that The Love God? is going to be the worst clinker in movie history. The editor of a failing bird magazine falls into the hands of a manipulative smut peddler who turns Peacock Magazine into a sexual revolution Playboy knock-off.
However, with a cast of great comedic talents and a script that will keep you laughing all the way through, The Love God? surprisingly rates as one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Nat Hiken is a comedy genius who brought laughs to Sargeant Bilko, one of the best sitcoms of all-time. I've loved Anne Francis since Forbidden Planet and there are few baby boomers who did not adore her as Honey West in 1965.
But the real magic of this film comes from the amazing Don Knotts, whose comedic skills blow everyone else off the screen. Don Knotts is the Jim Carrey of his era. Just seeing Don Knotts facial expressions are worth the price of the DVD.
The best plot twist of the film puts the enamored Anne Francis into the position of having to seduce Don Knotts for business reasons because the story is about to be leaked that The Love God is, in reality, a virgin!
(And she attempts to do it in a huge bed with a gigantic headboard of a cartoonish heart AND a scoreboard on display -- trying to convince him that it was her first time as well.)
Don't miss this film!
