The review
Surgeons at a mobile army hospital in Korea, and they are good at the work. The surgery is real labor. Wounded men come in, and the skill is not played as a gag. That half I will give its due.
The other half is contempt. They are rough on anyone earnest, especially a religious woman they humiliate, and the joke is often a person who still believes in something. The film thinks the cruelty is freedom. Adult, and a poor thing to leave running. The tent is the part worth respecting. The laugh that needs a believer is not. This is the 1970 film, not the series.

The glance
Household and Piety and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Guns of Navarone
54 instead of 38
The Guns of Navarone is still a war film, and it scores 54 instead of 38. What you gain is temperance: The scale is large and the film enjoys the scale, and it still cares who breaks.
