Rating: 7 out of 10, Due to the popularity of the television show people tend to forget it was based on a very good movie. This was Robert Altman at his best as he pokes extreme satire on the whole idiocy of war. Several counter culture doctors operate at a forward Korean War hospital causing havoc only rescued by their competence. This was made at the height of the Vietnam War so it found a ready audience when it was released. The film hasn’t aged well as a lot of the jokes have become so iconic that they lost their edge. It was also kind of jarring to see the major actors so young when all of them are still active nowadays at a slightly advanced age. You can see the promise in these young actors that forged those careers. Lt Dish – still hot.
MVP: Kellerman as the outrageous Hot Lips O’Houlihan
