The reason some folks are confused about Barney Fife saying “Why don’t you run up and alley and holler ‘fish’” is because Luther Heggs also utters the same line in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. As we all know, Don Knotts was basically playing Barney Fife in that movie, even though the character wasn’t called Barney.
I recently rewatched Billy Bob Thornton’s movie Sling Blade (1997) and in one of the special features he said The Ghost and Mr. Chicken was his favorite movie. Thornton was also a big fan of Andy Griffith; the two worked together a few times.
