August 31, 1966 –
A forgotten Blake Edward’s comedy, What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?, written by William Peter Blatty and starring James Coburn and Dick Shawn, opened on this date.
Harry Morgan played Major Potts who becomes comically nonsensical in this movie. In the third season of the TV series MASH, he played essentially the same character as Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele. The episode was The General Flipped at Dawn, which first aired on September 10, 1974. When McLean Stevenson character Colonel Henry Blake, left the show at the end of the third season, the producers hired Morgan and created a new character, Colonel Potter. Interestingly, Potter is similar to the name of role he played here; Maj. Pott, sometimes referred to as Potty.
