Additional InformationBased on Joseph Heller's much-loved best-selling novel, this sometimes disturbing antiwar satire centers around a group of World War II fliers in the Mediterranean and the insanity of war. The catch-22 of the title deals with a military snafu that results when a bombardier in the war attempts to get out of the military by feigning insanity--however, completing the paperwork for this proves him sane. Mike Nichols (THE GRADUATE) directed this wacky romp, getting supporting help from such stars as Alan Arkin (who makes the perfect Yossarian), Art Garfunkel, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins, Martin Sheen, and Orson Welles.

  • Catch 22

    I first watched this film in the 1970's and I'd forgotten just how weird it is! This time around I was more interested in the flying sequences and those alone make the film worth buying as a historical record. I won't be in a a rush to watch it again but I bought at the same time as a copy go Hanover Street - for the same primary reason. By comparison Catch 22 is an excellent - albeit weird - film and Hanover Street is more akin to a Mills & Boon book and has very little to recommend it. If you have t choose, buy Catch 22!!
