MASH: A Novel about Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker
2.0
Meh. I've watched a lot of MASH: the TV programme is what goes on as white noise to break severe procrastination deadlock (got two years of tax returns done in two days once, hurray, AND a refund) and I think the movie is fairly brilliant, and I can quote a lot of both. Colonel Flagg is my favourite.
So this was filler on the last night of term when my brain wasn't up to anything else, and it's a disappointment. It rattles along with little meaning, a good bit of irony, little humour that I recognise as such, quite a lot of medical detail (some of it repeated verbatim in the show) and too much exceedingly dull detail on the football game (also my least favourite part of the film). Mostly interesting (where at all) as the source material for the later iterations.
