What critics compared Operation Mad Ball to
(Ultimately, both "Animal House" and "M*A*S*H" appear to derive from one of Jack Lemmon's best and least revived vehicles, the delightful 1956 service comedy "Operation Mad Ball," which pitted fun-loving, ingenious enlisted men against a sneaky martinet officer played brilliantly by Ernie Kovacs.
