Ornithologist Abner Audubon Peacock (Don Knotts) sells his bird-watching journal to slick charlatan Osborn Tremain (Edmond O'Brien), who promptly converts it into a girlie magazine. When an obscenity lawsuit transforms the virginal Peacock into an unlikely hero to the hip and liberated, Tremain and co-editor Lisa LaMonica (Anne Francis) try to capitalize on Peacock's newfound fame as a libertine, to the dismay of his equally chaste longtime sweetheart, Rose Ellen (Maggie Peterson).

C-

A goofy, dispiriting, worthless Don Knotts slapstick comedy.

Whatever possessed Knotts to have anything to do with this distasteful movie?

I was surprised to find this DVD in a thrift shop. I had not seen this movie since I was maybe 11. Still funny, about as risque as an episode of 'Love American Style'. Knotts is a likeable patsy and the women really were hotter in the '60's

The Love God? is hardly Knott's best vehicle, and in that sense is probably pretty unknown to most. But, it has a quirk and a charm that almost makes you like it.

Probably Don Knott's funniest movie! It's just so abnormal and so akward it just works!

I wouldn't say this is a great Don Knotts film but a good Don Knotts film.
