Title: the memory was better than the reviewing
Review: I saw this many years ago and at that time it was funny. It still has some funny lines but all in all, my memory of the show should have been left at that--a memory. In 1958 this was solid stuff and while the play depicts Will Stockdale's stint in the Army, it is still funny but pales in light of all the new technology. This was a live performance and as such did not have the scenery changes, revolving stages, etc. that live shows have today. Andy Griffith was a sure-fire hit in this role and right on the money in his performance. That I remember well.
