- GoofsDuring this episode Potter says "I miss my wife, of course...miss my son, daughter-in-law. I have a new baby grandchild. I haven't seen her. I'd like to."
In S11:E11 Strange Bedfellows, it's Potter's Son-in-Law that visits the 4077th.
- Quotes
Father Francis Mulcahy: When the doctors cut into a patient... and it's cold, the way it is now today... steam will rise from the body. And the doctor will warm his hands over the open wound. How could anybody look upon that and not feel changed?

Many Poignant Comments
A filmmaker goes to the camp to get a first hand view of the unit by interviewing several of our regulars. It is done in black and white which would have been typical of the newsreel type of reporting. This concluded the fourth season of MASH. This mostly works though I always felt it could have been better. Hawkeye, in his inimitable style, makes random comments that would be hard to interpret for the casual observer. He is so cynical and so self centered (as he usually is) and doesn't respect the questions being asked. B.J. comes across as a man out of his element. Klinger is silly and loud. Frank says exactly what you would think. Radar is cute and sort of clueless. The figures that come across the best are Potter and Mulcahy. They are both really good actors and their openness and sensitivity shine through. I wonder why none of the women were in this. Was that true to the style of these to simply ignore them. At least, it seems, Margaret, in her position of authority, would have been a good interview. Of course, Father Mulcahy's line about the doctors warming their hands over the bodies on the table is priceless.
