Battle Circus is a 1953 war picture directed by Richard Brooks and starring Humphrey Bogart and June Allyson. The film chronicles the work of the 8666th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) as they treat wounded soldiers during The Korean War. The film is notable for being a more dramatic forerunner to the Mash franchise. Comparisons between the two are inevitable.Lieutenant Ruth McCara (Allyson) is newly assigned to the 8666th (often shortened to 66th in dialogue) MASH, officially commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hilary Whalters (Robert Keith), but effectly controlled by the Chief Surgeon, Major Jed Webbe (Bogart). The womanizing Webbe is quickly drawn to McCara, who constantly rebuffs his advances. Initially a poor addition to camp, McCara soon proves herself in the operating room, only increasing Webbe's interest in her. All the while, the camp must deal with a constant flow of wounded, enemy fire, supply shortages, and regular moves as the front line shifts.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

| Battle Circus / int_48ca7c29 | comment |
Broken Ace: Webbe is a hardened veteran of combat surgery, relying heavily on alcohol to get him through. Notably, early in the film he performs open-heart massage on a Korean boy he's operating on to revive him. By the movie's end, he walks away from a flatlined soldier on the operating table without even trying to bring him back. | |

The Alleged Boss | |
| Battle Circus / int_54bb2c63 | comment |
The Alleged Boss: Played with. Whalters is shown to be an entirely competent leader and Reasonable Authority Figure, but is absent or incapacitated for much of the film, Webbe calling most of the shots instead. | |

| Battle Circus / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Webbe imbibes frequently when off duty, to the point that Whalters has to warn him to dry out. | |

The Ace: As chief surgeon, Webbe is this in spades - he's the one who takes on the complex surgeries and assists with field rescues. | |

Asian Speekee Engrish: Strongly averted. All Korean characters who appear speak Korean, as do some members of the camp. | |
