Trivia:
The stage production of "No Time for Sergeants" by Ira Levin opened at the Alvin Theater in New York on October 20, 1955 and ran for 796 performances. Andy Griffith received a 1956 Tony Award nomination for Best Actor. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Although the film is about the Air Force, the credits are superimposed over a picture of Army sergeant's chevrons. Air Force sergeant stripes are of a completely different design (like those worn by Master Sergeant King in the movie). moreQuotes:
Will Stockdale: [looking out barracks window as taps is played in the distance] Somebody brung their trumpet. moreMovie Connections:

Movies like this are what they're taking about when they talk of classic comedies. This was the movie version of a Broadway stage hit that ran forever, and anyone who watches this film will readily understand why. Andy Griffith is absolutely perfect as Will Stockdale and Nick Adams, Sergeant King and Don Knotts fit their parts like a glove. They simply don't make many comedies that are as flat out funny as this one. They never did and still don't.
