(Spit) Hello? (Spit) hello?

The story starts with a laid-back scene from the backwoods of Georgia. Rather reminds you of “Sgt. York.” Will Stockdale (Andy Griffith) is being drafted into the U.S. Air Force. There, he makes friends with new inductee Benjamin B. 'Ben' Whitledge, who informs Will that it is the infantry that does the real fighting and that the Air Force is just their helpers. So, the two of them set out to be transferred to the infantry. We will see how simple it is to transfer. No Time for Sergeants brings back all the sights and sounds that you are familiar with in the military, especially the induction process. They even included military attitudes. What makes this so funny is the proximity to reality. You have met these people in all walks of life. From Irvin S. Blanchard (Murray Hamilton), who has a bad case of the ROTC. To Major General Eugene Bush (Howard Smith), who unwittingly gives an inspiring eulogy to (I am not saying). One fun part of watching the movie is not really the movie but recognizing all the actors, some from the original play, others who look like a retrospective of the “Andy Griffith Show.” The situations, hopefully, are not as easily recognized. Be sure to watch the PLO (Permanent Latrine Orderly).
