Film Notes
The Incredible Mr. Limpet first premiered on March 20, 1964 in Don Knotts hometown at the Warner Theatre in Morgantown, West Virginia.

During World War I and World War II, there was a mine known as a limpet, a type of naval mine attached to a target by magnets named because of their superficial similarity to the limpet, a type of mollusk. "Das Limpet" was the German Navy's identification of Don Knott's character.
The USS Alfred A. Cunningham was the naval ship featured in this film.

“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
He who of those delights can judge, and spare
To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
