M*A*S*H premieres in NY. Directed by Robert Altman. Written By Ring Lardner Jr. from the novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker. Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould star in a subversive, black humored, vignette driven (Vietnam) war allegory pivoting around the irreverent, frathouse shenanigans of a couple of raffish army surgeons attached to the Korean War's titular Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. With Tom Skerritt, Sally Kellerman and Robert Duvall. Film wins Cannes Festival's Palme d'Or.
