Starring In A Comedic Western
Don Knotts starred in the 1968 film The Shakiest Gun in the West, where he played Dr. Jesse W. Heywood, an 1870 Philadelphia dental school graduate who heads west to work as a frontier dentist. Audiences liked this comedic western and it became successful like the previous two movies. However, it was considered a little bit better because of the better comedic input. Actually, Knotts always drew people to the cinema. The movie is a remake of the 1948 film The Paleface starring Bob Hope alongside Jane Russell.

Playing A Playboy
In 1969, Don Knotts made an appearance in Universal Pictures’ The Love God? The film was a really odd departure for Knotts since his role was that of a playboy and the actor was not exactly known for being a male celebrity whom women lusted for! Nat Hiken wrote and directed the film but he sadly died after it was filmed but prior to its release in theaters. Many viewers found the cast weird and they could not relate to Knotts in the film since they felt he did not look like a playboy.
