#56: M*A*S*H (1970)

Emily says:

I thought MASH lent itself better to a TV show format than to this feature-length film. Even though I enjoyed the characters I know and love from the TV show, the plot was at best meandering and perhaps better described as non-existent. It had its funny moments, and was fun to watch since it shows some of the origins of the TV show, but I'd pick the show (at least the first few seasons) over the movie any day.

One perk of watching the movie is that now I will always picture the dentist's suicide scene from the movie when I hear the song - the last supper, the earnest words of the characters as they pretend to say goodbye to the dentist as he commits suicide (by taking a sleeping pill - unbeknownst to him) - so hilarious.
