"M*A*S*H," directed by Robert Altman and released in 1970, is a groundbreaking comedy-drama set during the Korean War. The film follows the antics of a group of irreverent and rebellious surgeons stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M*A*S*H) unit. Led by Captains Hawkeye Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and Trapper John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the team navigates the absurdities of war with humor and mischief while butting heads with their strict commanding officer, Major Frank Burns (Robert Duvall). Sally Kellerman shines as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, the head nurse caught between the chaos of the OR and the military hierarchy. With its innovative blend of dark humor and anti-establishment themes, "M*A*S*H" became a cultural touchstone and a critical success, earning an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Tom Skerritt delivers a memorable performance as the laid-back helicopter pilot, Duke Forrest, adding to the film's ensemble charm. The movie's satirical take on war and authority resonated with audiences, making it a classic that continues to be celebrated for its wit, sharp dialogue, and memorable performances.
