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

 Clean Humor December 2, 2008
Karen J. Samford (Kerrville, Texas, USA)
No Time for Sergeants is a funny movie with Andy Griffith. It is good clean humor although it is in the Army. I would like to own this movie but am unable to locate it.
 Video, "No Time For Sargeants", Review July 9, 2008
Peter L. Bourey
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.
nothing like classic comedy May 18, 2008

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!

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.
