  • Onionhead is a 1958 movie, set on a U.S. Coast Guard cutter during World War II, starring Andy Griffith and featuring Felicia Farr, Walter Matthau, and Erin O'Brien. The film was written by Nelson Gidding and Weldon Hill from Hill's novel, and was directed by Norman Taurog. It was such a notorious flop that it drove Griffith, who had enjoyed enormous success in A Face in the Crowd and No Time for Sergeants, into television, according to Griffith's videotaped interview in the Archive of American Television. Weldon Hill is the pseudonym of William R. Scott, a native Oklahoman who based the novel on his own World War II service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Griffith had experienced such success with his previous service comedy, No Time for Sergeants, that this was an attempt to cash in on it. "Onionhead" was marketed as an uproarious comedy but is actually a comedy-drama with some fairly dark themes. The picture also features James Gregory, Rat Pack comedian Joey Bishop, and Claude Akins.
