Mash before MASH

Battle Circus (1953)

Directed by Richard Brooks this film stars Humphrey Bogart, June Allyson, Keenan Wynn and Robert Keith. During the Korean War a doctor and a nurse at a mobile field hospital fall in love.

While the film does a decent job of portraying the work of MASH units this is little more than a propaganda or recruiting film really that was some what common of the era. The plot such as it is is a weak love story and little real drama happens. It also seems that the film was show with pretty low quality film on a cheap budget using stock footage for what little action there is.


2/5
