Such is the case in "Battle Circus" with the once off and very unlikely combination of Humphrey Bogart, veteran star of many tough guy roles at Warners, and June Allyson the 40's sweetheart of MGM.
"Battle Circus" while never being in the top range of Bogart films over the years delivers a vivid and well documented story set during the Korean war, 30years before the famed TV series MASH tackled the same topic.
"Battle Circus" will never be one of the great war stories but I find it a very well done and enjoyable saga, well acted and very honest in its attempts to show all the different sides of the war.

  Battle Circus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle Circus is a 1953 film directed by Richard Brooks, who also wrote the screenplay.
The film is set in Korea during the Korean "conflict"; Bogart plays a surgeon at a mobile army surgical hospital, and Allyson plays a nurse.
The title of the film refers to the speed and ease with which a MASH unit, like a circus, can pick up stakes and move to where the action is.

 Battle Royale Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
Under the provisions of the BR Act, a yearly Battle Royale is held in which a randomly chosen class of junior high school students are issued weapons and forced to play a twisted Darwinian game of survival in which there can be only one winner.
After a special screening by members of parliament and other government officials, "Battle Royale" was labeled 'crude and tasteless' and quickly became a battle cry for more government action on media violence, which up until then, had never been an issue.
The most obvious interpretation of "Battle Royale" is as a thinly veiled allegory on the ultra-competitive Japanese higher education system.

 Elephant Advocates Battle Circus (CT News Junkie)
Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus have been actively lobbying against HB 7019 which would make it a misdemeanor for trainers to use a bullhook on elephants while they’re performing in the state.
She said the money families use to take their children to the circus is part of a family’s entertainment budget which they would spend with or without the circus, so there is no net economic gain.
Lost in the emotional rhetoric and media circus generated by HB 7019 is the fact that the scope of the bill violates rights, privileges and authority granted under the Constitution of the United States, specifically Article I, Section 8--Commerce and Amendment XIV--Equal Protection.

 Musa Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
For example, the film's numerous battle scenes, often involving hundreds of extras and edits, are certainly impressive to watch, reminiscent of the opening scene of "Gladiator", or the grand battle scenes in Chen Kaige's "The Emperor and the Assassin (Jing ke ci qin wang)".
However, with its lightweight script, repetitive battle sequences, and unnecessarily long running time, it is difficult to give "Musa" a strong recommendation and justify the effort.
However, if you like historical epics with lots of big battle scenes, then "Musa" is certainly worth a look, and maybe even the effort to track it down.
