Production



Robert L. Lippert intended to make a series of films with Hal Roach Jr.'s R and J Productions, including 12 films for television, and 'As You Were' was their first collaboration. However, because of Lippert's difficulties with the Screen Actors Guild, only this film and 'Tales of Robin Hood' were made.

The film was originally titled 'Present Arms'.
