More Details
- Summary:
- M*A*S*H, Robert Altman's acclaimed comedy-drama about reluctant surgeons drafted to serve in the Korean conflict, is based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Dr. Richard Hornberger. And while studio executives may have envisioned M*A*S*H as an offbeat comedy, director Robert Altman and others on the creative team were in fact crafting an anti-Vietnam film. In this fascinating program, Altman, Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt, screenwriter Larry Gelbart and Korean War MASH unit veterans help to sort fact from fiction, and reflect on the impact of the film.
