When a wounded soldier is clumsily dropped off a stretcher onto the ground in the title sequence, it was actually an accident caused by an actor who tripped. A perfect illustration of the film's black humor. Robert Altman decided to use it with the song "Suicide is Painless" sung in the background.
This classic American war comedy received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture and spawned one of the most popluar shows ever to run on television. It focuses on three army surgeons(Donald Sutherlin, Elliott gould, and Tom Skerritt) who develop a lunatic lifestyle in order to handle the everyday horrors they encounter in the Korean War. Sally Kellerman, Gary Burghoff and Robert Duvall, co-star in this disarming mix of slapstick, merciless fun and tragedy.
