Name Versions
In the original version of the book, Chaplain Tappman was called "Robert Oliver Shipman". In the 1970 film version of the novel, the Chaplain identifies himself as "Chaplain Tappman", and is apparently embarrassed by the unfortunate rhyme. This may have been a gratuitous joke thrown in by the writer, Buck Henry, which was subsequently adopted by later editions of the book in the USA. British editions retain the name "R.O. Shipman".
