The book is pretty decent too, I’ve read it several times.

My favorite part of the movie is Nurse Dish smiling as she’s lifted off in the helicopter. That was hilarious! 😂😂😂

Looking back, MASH was a dreadful film. The frat house behaviour of the "heroes", the intolerance of anyone with different views, the attitudes towards and treatment of women, the treatment of being "cured" of homosexuality was reprehensible. Childish trash.

MASH wasn't all that great. I only saw it about eighteen times...

same year as catch 22 so was it really such a shock to the public or the industry?

Uhhhhhhhhhh, wasn't Robert Duvall in this?

Do vid on Altman's booze and cocaine fueled ( with songwriter Harry Nilsson ) Popeye shoot. One of the producers of MASH film was involved with the Bat Bomb WW2 secret weapon, he wrote one of the books on it. Glue incendiary bombs to bats and turn them loose in Japanese cities. Test run burned a brand new secret training base to the ground. Because their version of Frank Burns used real bombs instead of dummy rounds. That needs to be a movie.

Where's Donald Sutherland.. !?!

A bit dated. Totally misogynistic, huge ego doctors with some kind of supposed soft side. As a comparison look at Doctors Without Borders and women doctors today. Today those MASH surgeons would be considered total a***oles

It's a documentary from t.v. and over 15 years old. It's about one of the greatest shows of all time but the uploader, is a THEIF. He does not own the hard work on screen and behind it. Sorry but you are a copyright pirate. I fought in this War and you're profiting from my friends, who died, or came back, with one less arm, or leg. You want to be a Patriot, volunteer at the Local Veterans! Be a Man, or Woman! Not a thief!!!

Worst movie ever!

The film was good, but the TV show quickly devolved into a preachy vehicle for Alan Alda to strut his sanctimony. The TV show lacked the graphic OR scenes, which made the film gritty and real. Television sucked in the 70s and 80s. The Sopranos saved the small screen in the 90s. Mad Men took it to another level a decade later.

Alan Alda took over Goulds role. Loretta Swit took over Sally Kellermans role.

Suicide Is Painless the instrumental is the beginning of the TV series

Gould went on to Getting Straight in 1970.

Such an iconic movie and show. That song instant recognition.

Never saw it. All I know is the TV version, with that canned laughter, is so awful, I cannot imagine watching the full length film…

I was in the Army overseas when the film came out. The Army did not allow the film to be shown in on-base theaters; clearly its jaundiced view of the military did not escape the attention of the brass. I wasn't able to see it until I returned to the U.S. One thing I have always been curious about: the dentist character who is the center of the suicide scene never appears in the TV series, and while the series used the tune of the movie's theme, the lyrics never appeared in the series either. Does anyone know the backstory of those decisions?

DTG: 1970 . LOCATION: 8th Field Hospital, An Khe, Vietnam. MISSION: Obtain a doctor's signature needed for application for graduate school. SCENE: GP Large tent, doctor's quarters. They had a still and offered me a martini and while one of them signed my paper, another told the story about a Vietnamese boy he had treated for pancake syndrome. I asked, "Pancake syndrome?" He answered, "Ya, he was run over by a 2 1/2 ton truck." MASH was a window onto the reality of the madness and black humor of war.

Sally Kellerman’s shower scene, in retrospect, wasn’t as explicit as viewers remembered. A lot of the film was that way - Altman triggered sensations in the viewer’s mind, more powerful than what was actually shown.

In 1943 my mother was a navy nurse serving on a small hospital ship in the Mediterraneas Sea. She never talked about the year served there. 25 years later she saw this film and said it was the closest thing to the real life situations on her hospital ship. Vaya con Dios

I saw this film with my doctor- he loved it!

AbsoluteGreatFilm!

I was born in '51, by the time this movie came out I was ripe for an eye opener. I narrowly missed the corruption of the Vietnam draft. I am not anti-military - far from it. I lost friends there and still support the guys who were used by the corrupt US government. Some bought into the politics, others were just fulfilling what they thought was their "duty" to America, and others were just plain forced into it. This movie, "The Magic Christian", and "Getting Straight" didn't change my opinion of life - ti gave me an opinion on life. It has never changed. We are now seeing the political scene as I saw it back then. That is not a statement on my intellect - it is a reflection of what the people in the know were trying to tell us back then.

MASH was set in the KOREAN war- NOT the VIETNAM war!!

I saw MASH in Switzerland during a summer bicycling trip through Europe in 1970. It's the only time I've seen a film with THREE sets of subtitles: in French, German and Italian. Took up half the screen.

Back when liberals were cool ..before the advent of MAGA bumpkins, who don't have a clue.

I saw this movie the first time as a 10 year old at FOX Theater in Fullerton CA. A matinee of all things, with my friends and their mom. I can remember to this day how I felt, as a child growing up watching Vietnam on television news. I got it. I understood and was relieved that someone somewhere thought the carnage of war was obscene in all its military bookkeeping, rules and regulations in the face of the death of young people, the future. All one could do was laugh and cry. Kind of like life.

RIP Mr. Sutherland, it was a pleasure to have worked with you.

This is one of the rare instances in which the movie is better than the book. The book is entertaining but too episodic. That episodic nature worked pretty well for the movie.

That was excellent. Thanks.

My father fought and recd a purple heart in Korea. He really enjoyed watching the TV MASH. I never understood, comprehended why how he would like it, but he did.

Awesome story. Glad to know more about it.

I was taking a film class in '70 at Palomar College taught by Dick Peacock, a Korean War vet it turned out. Suddenly this new movie, MASH, was the hot thing, and he urged everyone to see it. It was only playing at a multiplex in Mission Valley in San Diego, so some of us travelled south to see what Dick was raving about. Ka-BOOM, it had an impact. So many things were going on in the madness of the film that I'm sure I missed half of the fast montage effect and some of the subtleties, but we knew it wasn't really about the Korean War, it was about the futility of war, and at the time certainly about the futility of the Vietnam War, which I was kind of ambivalent about, but now knowing what I know about the rogue elements of our government, our State Dept., and the wider "Intelligence Community" and what it has done to essentially ruin the rest of the world, I'm no longer ambivalent. Loved the irreverent parts Gould and Sutherland played. Apparently much of the dialogue was improvised. I had no interest in the TV show.

Saw it when it came out !I WAS A TEENAGER It hit on soo many.right. things : T.V. .Show was Never as Good .Sutherlands career , Took Off .

The man from Ethiopia.... lol.

Influenced my life kinda, I grew up with the movie/show and in 87 I found myself a combat medic patrolling the S. Korean DMZ. Whistled the tune more than once over there…

Too bad they didn't do 'Mash Goes To Maine,' Hooker's sequel.

I was an undergrad pre med when the movie was released and in medical school about the time that the TV series came out. Honestly, I think the movie ruined medicine for a generation. The movie seemed to take the position that you could be a total a$$hole towards patients and use nurses for your personal pleasure as long as you were a "good doctor". A lot of my classmates and fellow physicians took that idea and ran with it. That was the general theme of the TV series for the first couple of seasons, but the writers must've figured out that audiences would tolerate watching total jerks for a couple of hours, but they didn't want people like that in their living rooms every week. So they humanized the characters and made them more compassionate. To my mind the TV series went a long way towards redeeming the characters portrayed in the movie. You really can't be a good doctor unless you're also a good person .

My late husband was assigned to the Oakland Army Base while he did his tour. One of his jobs was run the movies for the guys who were being processed through the base. Often times I got to hang out with him up there in the booth. I will never forget when we showed MASH to a packed screening room. All those guys down there in their greens. When Father Mulcahey does his famous response to Hot Lip's question--"he was drafted", the room exploded. Thought they'd have to call the MP.

I agree MASH is American Original in the TV series, but what I wrote in Korea-Japan essay is from the Asian point of view, the real Japan born greatly known US history is known by me, in Chun jin Ojisan, Good Morning Vietnum and *M*A*S*H, I like you now.

Saw the movie in my early 20's and wondered who was the Commie that wrote this garbage. Now I know (Ring Lardner). I hated anti-American, anti-establishment leftist crap back then and still do to this day.

It always amazes me how DEAF to creativity and unique stories men in suits who only fund the films are.

Thanks for putting this up man.

Best line in the whole movie. G&d damm army.

A strange and wonderful time filled with strange and wonderful movies.

You know it was a great film. Because, when it was over. You wished it had a longer running time.

What an excellent piece of work about a groundbreaking and still incredibly important (and funny) film!

No mention of Robert Duvall as Frank Burns??????
