Infidels Abroad

Hawkeye, Trapper, and Hot Lips--with the misguided connivance of the US State Department--descended on Merry Morocco. Abetted by a royal prince, a drunken sheikh, a ravishing blonde diplomat, and a wacked-out cast of international misfits, the fun-loving medics unleash their own zany brand of chaos on the unsuspecting Arabs.

Butterworth's next installment of Hooker's Mash series was alright. Zany as ever, but I kept waiting for all of the characters to get together and actually start the story. It felt like so much of it was leading to that, and it never really happened.

Actually much of the story ended up being a love story between newly introduced, overly conservative Feminist Penelope Quattlebaum and the Sheik of Abzug.

Its kind of funny how dis-similar it is to the TV show, what with Hawkeye coming to and leaving Korea in only 18 months. (While he is on TV for how many years?) returnreturnFather McClay ass the bead rattling "Dago Red" is pretty hilarious. And "Spearchucker Jones" is a character that just isn't politically correct at any time. Kicking the holy roller out for being a Christian was a differ net idea than I expected, but don't forget that they are the professionals from Dover and they go to Soul to find the Epileptic Whore. returnreturnIt is a fun fast story. Its no wonder that it was adopted for the screen, but had to be changed to fix …
