He’s way too old to star in this.

Not that there’s a chance in hell I’d watch it, anyway.

An attempt to film Heller’s masterpiece and measure up to it is a pipe dream.

The 1970 film version of Catch-22 was only watchable during the scenes when Orson Welles was on the screen, which wasn’t much.

Read the book, saw the movie, don’t need a third bite, particularly from one whose proven creativity makes the dregs look like the cream.

There was some nice B-25 footage, too.
