Synopsis:
Mike Nichols superbly directed this cinematic adaptation of Joseph Heller's scathing black comedy about a small group of flyers in the Mediterranean in 1944. There are winners and losers, opportunists and survivors. Separately and together they are nervous, frightened, often profane and sometimes pathetic. Almost all are a little crazy. CATCH-22 is an anti-war satire of epic proportions.
Nominated: Best Drama Adapted from Another Medium, 1971 WGA Awards
Review:
"CATCH-22 is, quite simply, the best American film I've seen this year." -- Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES
