M*A*S*H - Hawkeye Pierce's Patented Whistle

In the original film, Hawkeye (Donald Sutherland) produces a distinctive whistle (which is appropriated by Radar O'Reilly at the film's end). The whistle does not carry into the television program.

Rest in Peace, Donald Sutherland.

No sir, I didn't steal a jeep, it's right outside

For you movie buffs out there, this is the exact same whistle that's used in "Fantastic Mr. Fox"

Here's to you Donald Sutherland. RIP.

[@mooremiket]

I literally have my kids trained with this whistle. When we're out at the store or somewhere, I whistle these three notes, and they know it's time to go. It may sound inhumane, but I find it much better than hollering their names like a typical parent. I'm just a dude whistling, not a man yelling his kids' names. Best parenting shortcut I ever came up with.

[@not.supermario]

mooremiket That's not inhumane at all. It is better than being those parents that scream their kids names. Your method is a lot more necessary and not rude anyway.

[@heijxje]

mooremiket I'm afraid my dad has you beat by forty-odd years. Our family whistle served exactly that purpose. Strange thing is: I don't think he saw MASH until much later... Europe and all...

[@Zack29810]

[@whanethewhip]

Looks like Radar was the only one that kept his role. Was also surprised to see Rene Auberjonois that I remember from Benson and Star Trek DS9. He passed in 2019.

[@DelcoRanz93]

He's not the only Star Trek Actor to appear in this film, John Schuck who played "Painless" Waldowski (I probably spelled that wrong) played the Klingon Ambassador in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, where he acted alongside Rene who, prior to playing Odo, played a character called "Colonel West" but most of his scenes were cut from the theatrical release of the latter film. Sally Kellerman who plays "Hot Lips" was in the second pilot episode for the original Star Trek series as Dr. Elizabeth Dehner. Those three actors are the ones I'm most familiar with that have been in this film and in a Star Trek production.

[@whanethewhip]

@@DelcoRanz93 Ah very nice! I had to google Sally but after seeing screens and a couple of video clips with those glowy eyes, I recalled the episode.

[@redactedalias-yh2rp]

that quiet "racist" is the funniest gag in the movie.

[@calkelpdiver]

This movie had a lot of newly known and up & coming actors in it. Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, Sally Kellerman (Hot Lips), Robert Duval (Frank Burns), Rene Auberjonois, Tom Skerritt (Duke, Capt. Dallas in Alien), John Schuck, Gary Burghoff (Radar, and only cast member who went to TV show), and Fred Williamson ("Spearchucker" Jones). During the football game in one scene if you look at the far back of the area of the field you will see cars passing by on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. A gaffe they couldn't avoid and left in the film.

[@Smile892011]

A patent that Alan Alda can't touch.

[@vichy7661]

Quote is right on, Sutherland plays a way better Captain Hawkeye Pierce. Sutherland is a natural, doesn't slightly appear as acting.

[@scottknode898]

@@vichy7661 Sutherland can easily play likable characters including Captain Pierce in Mash or Oddball in Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood or even unlikeable characters and villains like his role as the sadistic warden in Sylvester Stallone’s Lockup and bad guy in Backdraft.

[@ughmazing8073]

Well said. Alda was good. But Sutherland's original version is a lot better in my opinion. A lot less preachy and pretentious.

[@Summer_Reigns]

As much as I love the TV show, I think that Donald Sutherland’s portrayal of Hawkeye Pierce is superior to Alan Alda’s.

The only thing they did wrong was forget Hawkeyes nice whistle, whether it would be after surgeries or something happening

[@CarlFranks-tx1dh]

RIP, Donald Sutherland. There's a movie that Kiefer did and I don't remember the name of the film, but he put on the same type of hat that Donald wore and it was like an exact ringer.

[@pressureworks]

Would've been funny if he did his dog imitation or his other dog imitation. Nice to see that after the gold heist, OddBall stayed in or rejoined the army or was redrafted. also nice to know the gold paid for his fast-tracked education and medical training. Woof woof woof !

[@philipp7935]

I got people so trained that when someone actually happened to watch this movie they said “hey he does your whistle!”

[@shanesmith6941]

Donald Southerland made that movie.

[@sparkicus]

The TV show, while great in it's heyday, lacked the subtlety of the movie. It was more campy and shamelessly manipulative emotionally. And it did a LOT of moralizing without the exciting SUBVERSION of the film. Sutherland and Gould and the whole cast (plus the actor's dream director, Robert Altman) made an unforgettable and unique motion picture. A classic.

[@whitshade]

Well put and precisely why the TV series makes me cringe. I read an interview with Richard Hornberger (who wrote the novel as Richard Hooker) and he liked the film but detested the TB series. Reason? Moralizing. That and he envisioned Hawkeye as politically conservative, something Alda's Hawkeye was flagrantly not.

[@vincentbyrne2394]

Also, Alan Adla is plainly an irritating git in the TV series!

[@Gremlins1957]

I agree Sparkicus

[@richardvinsen2385]

Trivia Alert: they needed lyrics for the “Suicide is Painless” scene. Robert Altman’s son wrote them overnight with John Mandel. With royalty payments, he wound up making over $1 million, much more than Altman made in total on the movie.

[@AnaphoraNigh]

Sutherland’s Hawkeye will always be the Real Hawkeye in my estimation…

[@whitshade]

Great tribute. Hell. Finest kind.

[@Gremlins1957]

I always thought Donald Sutherland was a better Hawkeye than Alan Alda. Alda's Hawkeye was a bit too gabby for my taste. .

[@scoobypup01]

Well, you’re dealing to two different types. Alan Alda’s HAD to be talkative because his was a TV show version. Also, the Tv show circled around Hawkeye. The Movie on the other hand was closer to the book and covered more people. I loved em both. I think they both made great Hawkeyes.

[@Ten13Grl]

As far as I know, he's always gone by Auberjonois. It's what he was credited as in this movie, DS9, and everything else I've seen him in. The only difference ive ever noticed is that the sometimes leave the accent aigu off of his first name making it Rene and not René.

[@konfan06]

Yup that's odo

[@scottknode898]

Yes it is Rene Auberjonois who played Father John Francis Mulcahy in the film adaptation of Mash. He was also in the Mel Gibson hit The Patriot and appeared in the tv shows Boston Legal, Frazier and even was in an episode of Criminal Minds as a corrupt and sadistic Army Colonel. He passed away in 2019. He turned down the offer to return to play Father Mulcahy in the tv series of Mash.

Different, same character, just different

[@not.supermario]

I'm a fan of the TV series, but for an odd reason, I like this version of hawkeye played by donald sutherland better than alan alda's lighthearted version. the tv series was not very realistic about a war overall, even when it tried to be serious I was unimpressed, while the film really depicted the fact that the surgeons and soldiers were living in constant fear and had unpredictable conditions. They could be bombed or invaded at any point, while the show was about pointless things like making a concrete floor, giving shots to a horse and of course getting rid of most of the original characters and replacing them with new ones, that I found really hard to adjust to, mainly cause I saw the film before the tv show. I can see why Robert Altman, the director of this film, hated the show. The tv show should get a reboot, with the same dark tone like the film. The reboot would be seriously listed under shows like Law & Order, Bones and NCIS hahaha

[@culterwaleddy]

My mom who spent 24 years in the army medical core, and was deployed multiple times said that MASH is an accurate potrayal.

[@davidpolston2643]

[@davidrichter9164]

[@bottominaplatecarrier1118]

Damn even as old as this comment is that last bit is so bad. Like comparing MASH to NCIS or Bones like those shows have anything near the amount to offer. Like police procedural with comedy is fine, but it's apples and oranges.

[@amiblueful]

The movie is very close to the book in terms of the characterizations.

[@whitshade]

I Considering the description of this video, and the comparison of the movie with the TV series, it's interesting to note that MASH author H. Richard Hornberger (pen name Richard Hooker) enjoyed the film but had little love for the TV series. This was primarily due to the fact that he envisioned Hawkeye Pierce as politically conservative, not the flagrant liberal portrayed by Alan Alda. He didn't like the moralizing either, which detracts from the whole point he was trying to make about the extremes people will go to in order to stay sane when they live under extreme conditions.

[@trepathy1]

I watched an interview w/ Robert Altman who stated the he was not a fan of the tv series either. In the movie you never saw the war only the results and you never saw the enemy. It the tv show brown people with the narrow eyes became the enemy, quite a racist thing.

[@CaptApril123]

Alan Alda did an amazing job with the character..and I didn't like it a bit. I prefer the original. Even so I think Alda was very talented in his portrayal. The series was very, very, watered down. Eventually becoming simply a podium for leftist politics.

[@Gremlins1957]

So true the movie is much better than that TV show. and the Moralizing got worse when BJ Hunnicut showed up. He and Hawkeye walked around with their nose in the air along with Col Potter. Yuck! Sometimes I couldn't stand it.
