One War Movie Cliché After Another
If you have seen Saving Private Ryan and practically any other war movie you will recognize all of these tropes:
" No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" - after saving the life of an enemy combatant
"Language Barrier Encounter with a Female" - however she just happens to know enough English to convey her love
"The Combat Fatigued Soldier" - snivelling and crying , unable to lead men over the wall into battle
"Horrible Marksmanship by the Enemy" and its cousin "Pinpoint Marksmanship by the Hero"
"Gunshot Nicks and Grazes to the Hero Does Not Stop Him"
I could go on,...but you get the point.
Maybe I am too old and having seen nearly war movie, they are all starting to look the same.
The Andy Griffith Show: The Pickle Story (1961)
Nice Premise...
...however it does, for the reasons previously mentioned, require a bit of suspension of belief.
In a small town like Mayberry, Andy purchasing 8 jars of pickles at one time from the local small grocer would likely raise eyes.
