M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred

M*A*S*H: Dear Mildred
CBS
October 24, 1975
Dramedy
DVD
C-

Greenbaum and Fritzell's awkward dialogue ("horsectomy" is an example) combines with Alda's awkward direction (both composition of shots, like where the horse is in relation to the people, and emotions, particularly Radar's) for this weak episode.  About the only thing I like is the duet between Father Mulcahy and Nurse O'Connor (William's wife Barbara Christopher).

Bonnie Jones (Lt. Barbara Bannerman, in her last appearance), Richard Lee-Sung (this time Cho), Patricia Stevens (now Nurse Able), and Buck Young (his last appearance, this time as Dan) return.
