Mike Farrell played B.J. Hunnicut on the television show M*A*S*H, and Elliot Gould played Trapper John in the movie!
The actors did a decent job - most likely knowing it was going to be a TV movie.. not that there's anything wrong with that. It was different, and if you watch it just to see Fred Gwynne, that'd be all right.
It's a "whodunnit?" like no other.. unless there are others like it!
I remember watching this when it first came out on television. I suppose that's why I like it. I'd also like to watch "The Washington Papers" also starring Eliott Gould. Mike Farrell definitely plays a different character then he did on M*A*S*H.
