Most discussion of Altman's style focuses on his use of long takes and overlapping dialogue -- both are on display in M*A*S*H, although the latter somewhat less so -- but to me what stands out most in Altman's use of such techniques, including his restless camera, is the way in which it works to substantially underdramatize his films 'narratives.
