The Arrival of Andy Griffith from stage to FameNovember 26, 2005 Noah TW Givens(Marietta, Ga. United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If this is the product that I think it is; there is an opening monologue by Roddy McDowell explaining the origins of this television stage play version of No Time For Sargents. There is also an interview with Andy Griffith explaining how as a night club talking comic he auditioned for the Broadway stage play production and almost failed. The auditioners thought that his appearance and accent were acceptable but then, well, they just didn't know.... so they asked Andy to wait in the office while a few other applicants were evaluated. In the office a secretary asked Andy what he did so in explaination he went into one of his night club monologues for her. Passers by heard the goings on and stopped their activities to watch also. Shortly the passageway was blocked with an impromptu audience. This so impressed the auditioner that Andy got the part. The broadway play was seen by another talent scout that decided to put the play on tv resulting in THIS presentation. I don't think anyone from the stage play but Andy is seen here but I do remember that Andy brought with him several folks from the stage play to the movie including Don Knotts.
Here is the FIRST Visual introduction of Andy Griffith to the screen... be it big or little. You have heard of pilot episodes launching a series. This was the Launching of Andy Griffith into FAME.

I got this VCR thinking that it was the movie with Don Knotts and Myron McCormic. It was not. It was the stage play with different support actors and recorded on video tape. I enjoyed it and it is a good companion to the movie version with Myron McCormic and Don Knotts

An Andy Griffith/Nick Adams classicMay 16, 2001 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Our whole family of teen and grown children love this film with Griffith as the backwoods boy taken to town as a draft-dodger. Nick Adams becomes his buddy as both are society rejects but Griffith continues on blissfully unconcerned with much except helping his little buddy into the infantry ("that's where the REAL soldiers are") as his "daddy before him..." What follows are predicaments and adventure as the two make their way onward dragging the unwilling and worse-for-the-wear sargeant with them. The scene in the psychiatrist's office is hilarious. And we all find out what a "P.L.O." is.....
