MASH 8666
There was a film made in 1953 with Humphrey Bogart set in a M.A.S.H. unit in Korea that was originally to have been called MASH 8666 (shortened to MASH 66). MGM's publicists announced that the title Battle Circus was chosen to refer to the circus-like tents the troops had to hastily move during the war. Before that, however, they made director Richard Brooks change his original title, claiming that if the film were called MASH 66, it would make audiences think not of wartime romance, but of potatoes.
