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.[2] 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.[3]
