I was a HUGE fan of Andy Griffith, especially the "Mayberry" Andy. I was really looking forward to seeing this movie because I had heard of it. However, it was one of the WORST movies of all time!! I can see where it was a flop and it is understandable. This movie was billed as a comedy and one of the movie posters even called it "uproarious"! How in the world could ANY part of this movie be called that?? It was terrible all the way from the beginning to the end.
Even Andy's performance was bad. He didn't know how to play him; he is very unsympathetic. He was an angry, always horny, ashamed of his Dad, country kid. He tries to do what's right in the end, but even it falls flat. Even the comedic scene or two that he has are very tepid.
That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back!! Give me No Time For Sargeants andy day of the week!! OR Andy Taylor!!!

I have just watched this film on TCM and enjoyed it. Andy Griffith was playing a horny self absorbed character. The truth, with rare exceptions, is the book is always better than the movie.

It's supposed to be a comedy, with elements of drama, as he enlists in the Coast Guard just in time for WWIIand his ship sinks a German submarine.
But it's really more of a "Nazi" (not-see) moviesorry, couldn't resist it

Read the book in college, decades agoit's a classicstill have it.
Saw the movie (also while in college) on the Late Show, many years agoand hated itI thought it really, really STUNK.
My wife (who was also the person who first clued me in to reading the book) gave me a bootlegged DVD, copied from a VHS tape, a number of Christmases ago. She bought it online from some guy in Michigan.
Watched it once and never bothered to watch it again. The movie is STILL terrible. I think I either gave the DVD awayor threw it away. It's a cinematic abortion.
Hell, if somebody gives you a copy, burn before viewing. Read the book insteadit's terrific. Even the sex parts are pretty good.
