Onionhead (1958) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
In the spring of 1941, Al Woods (Andy Griffith) quits an Oklahoma college to join the armed forces after a quarrel with his co-ed sweetheart, Jo Hill (Erin O'Brien). He joins the Coast Guard, partly by chance due to the flip of a coin.
Onionhead (1958), which stars Andy Griffith as a love-struck member of the Coast Guard, features Matthau in one of his earliest comic roles. In theory, the film was meant to take advantage of the steam generated by Griffith's well-received turn in No Time for Sergeants (1958).
