“The Ghost and Mr. Chicken” is one of my favorite fun films. I’ve always liked Don Knotts and he represented a simpler time when films could be just plain good fun. In this particular film, he portrayed the problems one encounters when possessed of an especially excitable imagination, and you get a reputation for believing nonsense and telling stretchers. These are not lies as such, since in the case of the well-crafted lies Sam Clemens admired and had a genius for telling a stretcher is not told with the intention of harming any one or taking advantage of people. But if the teller of stretchers is not very careful, they can find themselves in deep trouble when attempting to be taken seriously as Don Knotts so well portrayed in the film. When we look back through history we may well ask ourselves how some of the ancients believed some of the fabulous and fantastic things they did, the stories of the past we now read seeming so obviously born of at times...
