What critics say influenced Animal House
(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.
Le tout est accompagné d’une bande originale endiablée, croisant le professionnalisme caricatural (pour l’occasion) du célèbre compositeur Elmer Bernstein (The Great Escape) à une série de chansons extrêmement bien choisies, venant représenter autant l’époque auquel le film fait référence que sa mise à l’envers peu subtile.
At best, Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film suggests an Animal House with bogus intellectual trappings.
