About this movie

Don Knotts stars as Jesse W. Heywood, a timid Pennsylvania dentist who leaves the comfort of the East to bring modern dentistry to the West. The misadventures begin when Jesse is duped into marrying a statuesque redhead (and reformed stagecoach bandit) who has agreed to finger the men responsible for selling whiskey to the Indians. Soon, Jesse and his bride are involved in a series of shootouts against renegade Indians and the town bad guy, and the desperate dentist is forced to switch from gums to guns in this rollicking comedy romp.

Ratings and reviews

Don has all the 'moves' as usual... His 'whole body's a weapon'. And chick magnet, too! I've loved all his movies- The Ghost and Mr. Chicken... The Reluctant Astronaut- they're all CLASSICS!!!

Where is The Reluctant Astronaut? Where is The Ghost and Mr. Chicken? AND BTW, this one was released in 1968...
