Trivia:
The loudspeaker shots and announcements were added after the editing process had begun and the filmmakers realized that they needed more transitions. Some of the loudspeaker shots have the Moon visible and were shot while the Apollo 11 astronauts were on the Moon. more

A revolutionary film!, 9 November 1999
10/10
Author: cabbage2 from pittsburgh, pa

Robert Altman's M*A*S*H started many trends in film. The over-lapping sound, the spontenaity, the camera work, all was fresh in 1970 and still looks good today. It is a film one could see over and over again, and pick up new things, new jokes, new lines with each viewing. It started the careers of many fine actors and remains to me a great American movie.
