Review of Catch-22 (1970) by Steve S — 28 Aug 2007
***1/2 (out of four).
Mike Nichol's irreverant take on the huge best-selling book by Joseph Heller is an entertaining anti-war satire that remains very funny nd poignant today.
Alan Arkin plays a World War II flier who tries to get out of the military by claiming that he's insane. But by knowing this and proclaiming this shows he's sane. So he is sent to the Mediteranean where he watches his friends fly off and die.
The great cast also includes Richard Benjamin, Art Garfunkle, Anthony Perkins, Bob Newhart, Orson Welles, and Charles Grodin.
