Catch-22 (1970)

.
Paddling to Norway

A pilot is trying desperately to be certified insane during World War II, so he can stop flying missions.

There really very little I can say about this masterpiece except SEE IT! To give away too much of the story might ruin it. It's to be experienced.

The stunning acting ensemble includes: Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam, Bob Newhart, Art Garfunkel, Bob Balaban, Martin Sheen, Charles Grodin, Anthony Perkins, Richard Benjamin, Jon Voight, Orson Welles, Buck Henry, Jack Gifford, Peter Bonerz, Paula Prentiss, and Norman Fell.

Based on a novel by Joseph Heller with screenplay by Buck Henry. Directed by Mike Nichols.

My personal rating: A
