This week’s Retroist Podcast is all about the 1980 comedy classic, The Private Eyes. The movie starred Don Knotts and Tim Conway as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson style characters. This was an amazing show to catch when it ran on HBO in the eighties, it was the primary place I consumed it, usually on lazy afternoons alone or with my friends.
After sharing my memories of watching the film, I moved onto the film itself. I discuss the people in front of and behind the camera, the production, its distribution and much more.
Broad comedies are not as common as they had been, so if you are looking for a well-made silly comedy with some super talented comedy actors, please give The Private Eyes a chance.
