A well-summarized look at the importance and greatness from Robert Altman's classic anarchic comedy "MASH", one of the many masterpieces from the
New Hollywood which defined a whole new generation of filmmakers and actors, and reshaped the film industry with its language, visuals, presentation of
themes and many more aspects.
Along with the clips, we have the interviews with the main folks from the picture: Altman, Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman and
Tom Skerritt; then Fox executive Richard D. Zanuck, and film critic Richard Schickel to share many views on the film, behind the scenes stories about
its development where it had everything to go wrong with each innovation brought on by the wild director in charge, and plenty of clips from the movie.

mythical making of "MASH" are proven here and 20 years after its release the team gathered share nice and fun stories, which makes it all more interesting
