Add a CommentMuch more than just a story about a group of pilots in Italy during the Second World War. Joseph Heller's novel and this movie brilliantly take an anti-war stance when the lunacy of raising the number of bombing missions drives the lead character, Yosarian, to insane measures to escape the madness (Jack Gilford's line explaining Catch 22 is still true today----if applied to any of our government's military misadventures in the past 60 years.) The cast is outstanding with Alan Arkin, Orson Welles, "Major Major" Bob Newhart, "Chaplin Chapman" Tony Perkins, and other young future stars like Richard Benjamin, Martin Sheen and Jon Voight. AND the last group of real B-25's ever to fly together since the war. Don't miss the crash scene---it's an actual B-25 that wasn't worth restoring. But you may have to watch this several times to get what's going on with the flashbacks and all.
