This is indeed a strange movie. Apart from MASH, I can't think of another film that deals with Korean War mobile hospitals. This COULD have been interesting, but it wasn't. Most of it is because the war is really secondary. The primary focus of the film is the horny character played by Bogart in his never-ending quest to get inside June Allyson's underwear! And he is SO unconvincing in this role and her character is such an idiot!! Mostly because Bogey frankly looked too old to be playing a young horn-dog and the dialog they gave him was unbelievably corny and filled with sleazy double-entendres! And, because he is the lead, you KNOW that regardless of how unappealing his character is and how much he SHOULD be taken up on sexual harassment charges, he'll get the girl by the end of the picture. As for June Alysson, she plays a complete dummy, as each time Bogey makes totally inappropriate advances on her, she blames herself for his pig-like behaviors!!
The only positives in the film were the performance by Keenan Wynn as well as the behind the scenes portions (such as showing the MASH unit packing and moving). Unfortunately, these positives are hugely outweighed by the negatives. So, unless you are a MAJOR Bogart fan, avoid this picture.
