This was NOT a movie. It was a special for television that took place on a sound stage in Wilmington, NC. I know this because I was the only actor present that was not connected with the original series. The program was a series of interviews conducted by Andy. He interviewed the other cast members and questioned them about their favorite episodes etc. It also included clips from select episodes as well as home movies taken on the set. present were Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Ron Howard,George Lindsy, Jim Neighbors and Jack Dodson. The sets used were not the originals. The designer used only set pieces to offer the feel of the show. The program is a wonderful reflection of the people that made television history in a little town called Mayberry.
