Author Stephen Cox and pop culture critic Kevin Marhanka have joined forces to present the complete film works of comedian Don Knotts in THE INCREDIBLE MR. DON KNOTTS, the very first book on Knott's movie career. The authors, who interviewed Knotts at length about specific films in which he starred, have gathered contributions from Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Tim Conway, Ed Asner, and many co-stars from his forty feature-film career. Featuring more than 200 photographs--many rare and never before published--behind-the-scenes images, fascinating trivia, reviews, and a fantastic 16-page insert, the movies of Don Knotts are fully explored in this collector's treasury.

Come and listen to the story ''bout a man named Jed"" and the rest of the colorful Clampett family, perhaps television''s most unlikely phenomenon to spring from the sixties.

Readers will also find hundreds of photographs, including 16 pages of color, fascinating trivia, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive contributions from Paul Henning, the show''s creator, a list of Granny''s fixin''s, the story of the popular theme song, Elly May''s critters, Jethro''s ""Double-Naught"" secrets, and an introduction by 93-year-old Buddy Ebsen, who played Jed Clampett in the series. Also included are a complete episode guide, cast biographies with all the inside scoop, and highlights from guest stars (John Wayne, Gloria Swanson, Sammy Davis Jr., and others).The Beverly Hillbillies is still shown every day on cable television''s Nick at Night.
