PLOT


( Ron Howard ) become a father. The biggest surprise comes when his old friend and deputy, Barney Fife ( Don Knotts ) has returned from Raleigh (where he had moved after Knotts left the series in 1965 ) and also plans to run for sheriff.


TRIVIA


  • Frances Bavier who was known for playing Aunt Bee on the series was one of the few cast members not to be involved in the reunion. Bavier had retired in 1970 , after leaving '' Mayberry R.F.D. '' Her absence was explained by the scene in which Andy visited the cemetery where Aunt Bee was buried - Bee had died at some point between leaving ''Mayberry R.F.D.'' and the events of the movie.


  • Since the original outdoor sets from the original Andy Griffith television series had been destroyed, the producers had to recreate the town of Mayberry. As a result there were some differences between this version of Mayberry and the one from the TV series. One of the more notable differences was that the main street went past the courthouse rather than ending at the building, and that there was a small island with a flagpole on this street.
