Battle Circus (1953)
5/10
Pallid war movie
1 March 2004
A MASH unit is the source of this drama's minimal story and, well, drama. Allyson is her usual one note self, Bogart is present in body but perhaps not in spirit.... it really feels like everyone just walked through this one. That said, this one passes the time all right, but could never qualify for classic.

A bit more script attention, or interest, would have helped, I suppose. This feels like a movie that was made simply to have been made, as if "well, we gotta make war movies, and we gotta put Bogey in some movies, so let's put Bogie in this war movie." Not much to look at here, but not much to be bothered or offended by either. Bogey and Allyson are not convincing as a pair.
