"Catch 22" - I like the "Billy Mitchell"

Recommended Posts

I liked this weird movie back in the early 70s.

MAD's Mort Drucker failed to make it even crazier - it wasn't possible to top that.

The book is even crazier, kinda reads like a used car salesman on steroids.

It's a very funny, very cynical, and, I suspect, very accurate book about that time and place.

 

The book is much better than the film, but having said that, the film is a head and shoulders above most war films which tend to be gash. Worth bearing in mind that The Green Berets was only a few years prior to Catch 22, and that was an enormous pile of s**te. Simply choose your viewing well.

 

Happy royal wedding everyone (pauses to vomit).
