Has anyone ever seen this? I just watched it the other night. I wasn't aware of it when it came out in '91. I wonder if it got overshadowed by the widespread euphoria following the initial Gulf War and pro-war movies like Hot Shots?

This looks absolutely fantastic...love the cast. If I saw it I'm not remembering it. Pretty sure I never even heard of it. YAY ROSS.

Yeah, "Article 99" didn't do well in the theaters, but I saw the movie on premium cable a year later and I enjoyed it. It wasn't made to win the box office, even though its biggest star was Ray Liotta, just two years after "Goodfellas." I'd guess that moviegoers never had much of an appetite for a medical drama that combines politics with black humor, at least not since "The Hospital" in 1971 or "M*A*S*H" in 1970. What a great cast. Missing from the trailer: Jeffrey Tambor and Lynne Thigpen in small roles.
