Katherine Barrett. Man, she's funny. Too bad it looks like she didn't have any major roles.

The Dentist scene with the woman in the chair reminded me of the W.C. Fields bit that was sensored. That scene with Fields, was a bit more risque.

I wondered if that person was really totally (born) female, being big & have a masculine face. Was that person a male made up like a [kinda] female or a transexual?
Probably not, especially considering the time that the movie was made. An actress who was considerably bigger that Don Knotts (not hard to find) & kinda masculine looking, as well as being able to put on a mean face, was chosen.

I've always thought the female dental patient of Don Knott's was a male made up to be a woman but I'm wrong. HOWEVERyou do notice in some of the fight scenes at a distance, it clearly shows it's a man dressed up as the woman and it looks like a little kid playing the part of Don Knottsespecially when he jumps on the "woman's back.

That scene was absolutely hysterical. That woman was one hell of a mean and uncooperative old battleaxe.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
