Captain Newman, M.D. (1963) 126 mins Comedy, Drama, War There is a very simple way to explain "Captain Newman, M.D." and that is to call it a forerunner to that great TV series "M*A*S*H".

Carry on Jack (1963) 91 mins Comedy "Carry on Jack" isn't the worst "Carry On" movie it's not even a bad "Carry On" movie but it almost doesn't feel like a "Carry On" movie at all.
