Andy & Don

The comedic synergy between Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife elevated The Andy Griffith Show from a folksy sitcom to a timeless study of human friendship, as potent off the screen as on. Now, Andy and Don captures the real-life magic between Andy Griffith and Don Knotts---fellow Southerners born into poverty and raised among ne'er-do-wells, bullies and drunks---who remained best friends for life. Written by Don Knott's brother-in-law and featuring extensive unpublished interviews with those closest to both men, this is the definitive work on the legacy of The Andy Griffith Show and two of America's most enduring stars.
