This film is the epitome of Barney Fife--full of himself and rather annoying. And, it's the epitome of Andy--loyal and decent and very likable. Other episodes have had the same themes, but few this well.
Andy and Barney have an opportunity to go to the big city and spend some time at an exclusive men's club. Barney, naturally, assumes he's sophisticated enough to make a good impression on the club members and will most likely be offered membership. But he tells Andy that he must let go of his simple country ways to fit in with these city folk. But, as soon as they arrive, it's obvious that Barney is at his worst and naturally everyone there is turned off by him. However, they do like Andy and offer him membership. What is Andy to do?!
While this is one of the least funny episodes I can think of, it does a lot to establish the characters and is a good episode because it doesn't shy away from being poignant. Well worth seeing.
