Andy Griffith burst to stardom with this surprisingly funny film adaptation of the Broadway comedy (by, of all people, Ira Levin of Rosemary's Baby fame). Griffith plays a hillbilly who is drafted into the army where, among other things, he has to wear shoes regularly for the first time. Griffith brings an engaging glee to the role of this likable bumpkin, whose happy-go-lucky demeanor is impervious to insult. Ask him to clean the latrines and he rigs the toilet seats to stand up and salute. The film follows him through basic training and into the paratroops, where he becomes an unlikely hero. A solid supporting cast includes Griffith's future sidekick, Don Knotts; Nick Adams; and, most notably, the hilariously sullen Myron McCormick. --Marshall Fine

Summary: Video, "No Time For Sargeants", Review
Comment: It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The condition was ok, not great but ok. It did appear as if it came from a video rental company which was a bit troubling. All in all it was an ok experience although I think for the condition a bit overpriced.

Summary: One of my ALL-TIME favorite comedies!
Comment: Having served in the Air Force myself, from 1977 to 1997, I can relate to alot of the situations in this movie. Early on, I did many stints as PLO myself ... we called them "GI Parties."

The induction scenes in this movie are pretty much the same as they were when I enlisted in 1976. I didn't think things were that funny at the time, but everytime I watch this movie these days, I just plain howl with laughter.

If you are one of the folks who love this movie, I'd like to suggest the Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis classic SAILOR BEWARE. It's just as hilarious as NTFS.

I've seen a few VHS versions of NTFS on eBay, that also offer a backup copy in DVD format. However, they are expensive, and I cannot vouch for the quality of the DVD. It all depends on the quality of the equipment used to make the copy, and the quality of the VHS source tape. I think I'll just save my money and wait for a first-rate publication of the movie on DVD.

Enjoy!

Summary: Andy's Tour de Force
Comment: This is the very best movie ever made by Andy Griffith. The casting is perfect all the way through. Don Knotts and Andy Griffith together at the beginning of their great lifetime friendship. This is a funny movie that will make you feel like you have your favorite blanket on a cold day.

Summary: Needs to be available on DVD
Comment: This is a great classic movie that needs to be available on DVD. Many other movies of lesser quality are now on DVD - why not this excellent one?
I have read the book and have seen the movie. Both are great.
As soon as it comes out on DVD I'll be one of the first to buy it.
I recently bought a used hard cover edition of the book here on Amazon.
