According to Nancy Stafford, who played Michelle Thomas, she said in an interview, the courtroom scene, which took, sometimes 2 to 3 days to shoot. It took the cast 8 days to shoot a 1 hour show, 8 very long days. Court was usually 2 to 3 days, depending on how elaborate that was. Whenever the cast did the big scene, at the end, where Andy Griffith did his final wrap up, Andy would do it as a monologue. He told Stafford that he memorized the scenes as a monologue, and the reason would be that he could be just plowing through it, no matter what the defense said, no matter what the prosecutor said, no matter what the judge, he would just sorta know his lines, he wasn't waiting for other people. And she'd assumed that 9x out of 10, she could count on her 1 hand, at the time, he did not get it in 1 take, but he would do that scene as a master shot in 1 take, and that just never happened. At the end of that one, the director said 'cut,' he invariably get a standing ovation. So from the other actors, the gallery and the crew - it just so blows everybody's minds. Commonly, he remembered the cheaters names, and every week, they're different so, it's just a kind bunch of people learned and he was just a master. She loved the tone he set - from this set - from the top down, it was a delightful plan.
