Catch-221970
The nice thing about war is that the person who kills you really has nothing against you. Personally.
A WWII military pilot makes a valiant effort to be certified insane in order to be excused from flying missions. But there's a catch.

The most moving, the most intelligent, the most humane--oh, to hell with it!--it's the best American film I've seen this year.
Nichols has done the same thing in Catch-22 that he did in The Graduate. He's given us a funny beginning, then switched tones and gone serious. And then tacked on a Great Escape ending which answers none of the questions he's so painfully raised.
Low, cheap comedy mingles nervously with slick, high-fashion technical polish in a slow-boiling stew of specious philosophy and superficial characterization.
