Army surgeons “Hawkeye” Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and “Trapper John” McIntyre (Elliott Gould) use hijinks to keep their sanity amid the madness of the Korean War. The comedy is black, at times brutal, and the depictions of field surgery frank in their bloodiness. But this unorthodox blend struck the right chord with Vietnam-era audiences, giving Altman a smash hit and launching his career. The film won the Palme d’Or at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival and received five Oscar® nominations, including a win for Ring Lardner Jr.’s screenplay. DIR Robert Altman; SCR Ring Lardner Jr., from the novel by Richard Hooker; PROD Ingo Preminger. U.S., 1970, color, 116 min. RATED R
