Atta boy, Luther!

From IMBD:

According to Don Knotts's autobiography, the off-screen voice yelling, "Attaboy, Luther!" belongs to screenwriter Everett Greenbaum.

This film inspired a short-lived craze for yelling out "Attaboy, (name)" during speeches and other situations. This came from a running gag used in this film.

I used to watch this movie and The Reluctant Astronaut a lot as a kid. Throw in Limpet, too.
