## Description

Long before M*A*S*H, there was Battle Circus. Made during the Korean War, this tribute to the indomitable human spirit takes an authentic, almost documentary-like look at the nurses and doctors who operated in the battlefront Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals. Major Jed Webbe (Humphrey Bogart) is a brilliant, hard-bitten Army surgeon with a weakness for women and strong liquor. Fresh from the states arrives Lt. Ruth McCara (June Allyson), a naïve young nurse ready to save the world. The story of their love and heroism, told against the grimly realistic background of pounding artillery and deadly ambushes, forms the core of the film. The title Battle Circus comes from the way the mobile field units can strike their tents, move to a new battle area, then set them up again like circus roustabouts in nothing flat. And, like circus daredevils, these heroes risk life and death on a daily basis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good but different Bogart style
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020*

The "model" for the MASH show - but realistic, not a sitcom. To me, a decent portrayal of the reality of duty in a MASH/MUST field hospital. Bogart in his serious mode - similar acting to African Queen but without the light moments, and with him playing a harsher, harder-drinking character.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    MASH without the laughs
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020*

Korean War era film.  I was afraid it would either be a quasi propaganda movie or a preachy anti-war movie.  But was neither.  Just a good movie.Although there is absolutely nothing comedic in this movie, it is very obviously an inspiration for “MASH” both movie and TV.PS:  look up Phillip Ahn (the prisoner with the grenade) in Wikipedia.  Read his bio and then the links to his father and to his sister.  Even more impressive than the movie.

    Battle Circus-Bogie long before M.A.S.H.
  

*by R***U on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019*

Bogie portrays an Army surgeon during the Korean war. This movie was not called MASH because the producer said the audience would think it was related to mashed potatoes. His co star June Allison was ok.Bogie's character loved booze and the ladies.I saw it for the first time today. They just don't  make movies like this any more. As a Bogie fan,i thought it is one of his top movies,and he's made many!
