Onionhead is a 1958 movie set on a Coast Guard ship during World War II starring Andy Griffith, Felicia Farr, Walter Matthau, and Erin O'Brien. The film was written by Nelson Gidding and Weldon Hill from Hill's novel, directed by Norman Taurog, and was such a notorious flop that it drove Griffith, who had enjoyed enormous success in A Face in the Crowd and No Time for Sergeants, into television, according to Griffith's videotaped interview in the Archive of American Television.
