Warning: Spoilers
Even though Bogart and Allyson appear in one comic scene in this 1953 film, the film is anything but a comedy.

At the beginning, I thought that Allyson was out of her league here. However, as the film went on, she showed her mettle. For Bogart, even though he was war weary, he was somewhat subdued from his usual portrayals.

The film depicted the successes and failures of a MASH unit during the Korean War. It does show how army nurse Allyson and surgeon Bogart fall for each other.

The film deals with constant evacuations but even with the seriousness of having to evacuate so often, you never really get the feeling of dire circumstances prevailing.
