Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThough not one of Bogart's strongest, this serviceable feature is one of few war (Korea) films in which he wears uniform, and his only MGM picture, co-starring with that studio's reliable performer, June Allyson.
New York Times - 6/10 by Howard ThompsonAn absorbing, often tingling background of a mobile Army surgical hospital at the Korean front. Unfortunately for the general pace and impact, considerable time is allotted to a dawdling and familiar personal drama.
User Review - 8/10 by Chelsea KI'd avoided seeing this initially because it was rated so poorly on Imdb. Then I actually watched it. A pre-"MASH" movie about a MASH unit, backed by solid performances from Bogart, Allyson and Keenan Wynn. Allyson is not exactly a weighty actress, but the part doesn't demand that of her. Bogart's character starts off as a thinly veiled womanizer pushing the boundaries of harassment with Allyson. But about midway through, we begin to understand the character. He's seen one too many wars and lost one too many patients, reducing him to living from minute to minute, never planning, and avoiding too close human contact. Allyson of course brings him right out of that simply by loving him (isn't that how it works?). Fortunately, the film largely avoids cliche, either in the depictions of war and the aftermath of violence, or in the love story. She accepts that she loves him, whether it will be for a day or for a lifetime; and he likewise accepts that he can't hide from his own caring impulses. He sums it all up nearing the end, telling her 'I'll come find you. Not because I have to, but because I want to.'
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin RNothing is for always. A new nurse joins the military and is sent to Korea during a time of high casualties. She is paired with a surgeon that quickly wants to get in her pants. She falls in love with him but decides to reluctantly date him to a point and draws a line in the sand when he won't open up to her and only appears to be about for sex. Is there a chance to fall in love or will she eventually give into his charm? "Maybe whiskey is as part of our life as war." Richard Brooks, director of Fever Pitch, Bite the Bullet, The Professionals, Deadline - USA, and The Catered Affair, delivers Battle Circus. The storyline for this picture was just okay but the character development was fairly solid and the acting was better than average. The cast includes Humphrey Bogart, June Allyson, Keenan Wynn, William Campbell, and Patricia Tiernan. "You're about to wreck something beautiful." I generally enjoy Humphrey Bogart pictures and decided to DVR this picture when I found it on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). This film is nothing special overall but does contains some great lines and interactions between characters. This isn't a bad film to watch if you're a fan of Bogart but you're not missing much if you skip it either. "What are you thinking about?" "You." "That's good. At least you're not wasting your time." Grade: C+/B-
User Review - 4/10 by Paul DOne of Bogey's bogeys. The brooding love story isn't as interesting as it might be, nor is the action around it, although for fans of the television series MASH this certainly holds some interest as the themes and location are the same.
User Review - 2/10 by Ashley HBattle Circus is a disappointing film. It is about the love story of a hard-bitten Army surgeon and a new nurse who ready to save the world. Humphrey Bogart and June Allyson give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Richard Brooks did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
