Viewing Notes

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this.  An absurdist comedy that I thought worked well.  Much of the supporting cast from M*A*S*H.  This time I noticed the references to Bullitt.

Brewster and M*A*S*H came out the same year and kicked off an amazing run of great films for Altman in the 1970s.

Also of note, this was the first film for Shelley Duvall, RIP.
