"M*A*S*H" DVD
Ostensibly set during the Korean War, "M*A*S*H" is a black comedy about life in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital unit located only three miles from the front lines. The primary mission of the MASH unit is to provide immediate medical treatment to Americans wounded in combat, and the young surgeons are often up to their elbows in blood and guts for long periods of time. But when they’re off duty, the MASH unit personnel keep their sanity by pursuing a wacky, irreverent lifestyle that leads to some hilarious adventures. Directed by Robert Altman, "M*A*S*H" features a fine cast headed by Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould. The movie was initially released in 1970 during the Vietnam War, and audiences loved its anti-establishment humor.
