Other movies?

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: M*A*S*H: The Officers' Club (AKA The Kitchen Sink): Other movies?

I just watched Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You where there's an all-too-brief scene of Alan Alada shaking hands with David Ogden Stiers. It just made me wonder: are there any other movies where former M*A*S*Hers appeared together?

While I know you said former M*A*S*Hers, the only thing I can think of is Same Time, Next Year which starred Alan Alda and Blythe Danner. The movie was made while M*A*S*H was still on the air, however. And Danner was only a guest star in one ep ("The More I See You"). But it's about the only thing I can think of off hand.

Well, there was also a pre-M*A*S*H two-part episode of Hawaii Five-O. In it Loretta Swit co-guest starred with Ed Flanders, who was the filmmaker in "Yankee Doodle Doctor".

"Same Time Next Year" starred Ellen Burstyn, not Blythe Danner, as the Alda character's once-a-year love. Alda actually had a decent movie career, with "The Four Seasons" (made while "M*A*S*H was still produced), "Sweet Liberty" and "A New Life."
Wayne Rogers starred with Cleavon Little in a little indie called "The Gig".
Harry Morgan reprised his "Dragnet" role of Frank Gannon in the 1987 "Dragnet" with Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks.

A little research reveals that the movie that Alda and Danner co-starred in was To Kill a Clown - just before M*A*S*H. Why I thought it was Same Time, Next Year, I dunno. It just seems like they co-starred in a more famous movie than that, though.

There was a Disney movie in the early 70's called "The Cat From Outer Space." It starred both MASH colonels, McLean Stevenson and Harry Morgan.

Mike Farrell and David Ogden Stiers both appeared together in the 1980 TV Movie Father Damien: The Leper Priest. Ironically, Stiers character was physician!

I always thought that E.T. was a total rip-off of this obscure Disney comedy. The plots are virtually identical, and there is even an identical scene where the alien's powers help to jump a ravine on a two-wheeled vehicle. "Cat" is the far more watchable film of the two, IMO.
