Plot edit

An infusion of WAC beauties adds to the fun when ex-G.I. "Dodo" Doubleday (William Tracy), now a hotel clerk, impresses Army brass with his memory and considers going back into the military. But recruiting station sergeant Bill Ames (Joe Sawyer), remembering how Tracy jinxed him back in WWII days, begs him not to re-enlist.

Cast edit

Production edit

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]
