To preserve these articles as they originally appeared, The Times does not alter, edit or update them.\n\nOccasionally the digitization process introduces transcription errors or other problems; we are continuing to work to improve these archived versions.\n\n“Catch‐22,” Joseph Heller's huge practical joke on the Department of Defense, is about to be told a few million more times.\n\nA two‐hour film version of the novel, directed by Mike Nichols and written by Buck Henry, opens here next week at two theaters. It has been the object of intense advance interest and speculation.\n\nIt cost \\$14.4‐million to pro duce and required the reas sembling of a World War II B‐25 bomber squadron large ly from junk aircraft, among other expensive touches.\n\nMr. Heller's long‐running best‐seller, published in 1961, has sold about five million copies throughout the world (there were two printings in Ukrainian before the govern ment discovered that it was not just a funny book about World War II) and has be come, in a curious way, a fa vorite novel of the anti Vietnam war set.\n\n**Paperbacks Show Rise**\n\nThis year, the paperback printings jumped from 100, 000 each to 200,000 and the release of the picture seems likely to create a new de mand for the book. Students see the novel, the singular offspring of comedy wedded to tragedy, as a sly way of making World War II back fire on the war in Vietnam.\n\nDoc Daneeka, Major Major, General Dreedle, Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder, Hungry Joe and 21 other characters, selected from the 42 the the author created in the novel, will be seen first at the Sutton and the new Paramount Theaters here.\n\nThe novel's circular plot requires, at one point, the blowing up of an American bomber base in Italy (in Mr. Heller's twist, it is the Ameri cans who do it under a con tract that the profiteering impulse has spurred them to make with the Germans).\n\n**Base Is Blown Up**\n\n“The way we achieved the blowing up of the base was that we blew up the base,” John Calley, the producer of the Paramount‐Filmways re lease, explained. They had to build it first, of course.\n\nIt was impossible to find a place to build it in Italy or in France, partly because of television antennas on roof tops, which would have sub verted the illusion of the 1940's on which the film depends.\n\n## Editors’ Picks\n[![](https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2025\/09\/21\/multimedia\/21ST-SHAI-CONVERSE-QA-01-pqlj\/21ST-SHAI-CONVERSE-QA-01-pqlj-thumbLarge.jpg)A Championship, an M.V.P. and a Signature Shoe?

We put in a whole Air Force base, and if you don't think we did, let me tell you that we all ate in the mess hall.”\n\nIt was such a sturdy little encampment that it took Pentagon‐sized appropriation of explosives to blow it up. “We used 17,000 sticks of dy namite and eight tons of black powder and thousands of gallons of gasoline,” Buck Henry recounted yestetday, between takes of the film he is now acting in, Milos For man's “S.P.F.C.,” on location in Greenwich Village.\n\n“This was all set in place by eight of the most har assed, sleepless, pouchy eyed wretches you have ever seen in your life,” Mr. Henry went on. “When it went off, it was the biggest pyrotech nics display ever seen in Mexico. Units of the Mexi can Army had to be posted around the site because men were bringing their wives and children from all over to see it.\n\n**Reactions Vary**\n\n“The army was there part ly because they didn't want students coming in and steal ing the dynamite to blow up vicious men with.”\n\nAdvance showings of the film have inspired two reac tions chiefly, the writer actor (who plays Colonel Korn in the movie) finds.\n\n“We're getting love and loathing,” he said. “The world seems to be divided among people who feel no relationship at all to the material in ‘Catch‐22,’ and people who stand on that ground.”\n\nWhatever anyone else may say, pro or con, about the picture, there is one man who is in a position to like it or not to like it for reasons only he can harbor—the man who wrote the book.\n\n“Mike Nichols and I cher ished the book,” Mr. Calley said, “One of our night mares was that Joe Heller might not like the film.”\n\nThis nightmare came to its climax on the night Mr. Heller went to a private screening and sat, alone, among empty rows in a small theater, with his wife and daughter seated somewhere behind him, and Mr. Nichols lurking at the back.\n\n“I was prepared not to like the movie,” Mr. Heller said in an interview. “It's a matter of vanity. My feeling is that complex novels don't make good movies. I never ex pected anything of a movie of my novel. It wouldn't have bothered me if a movie had never been made.\n\n“It's always a little awk ward at these screenings be cause people get you there to hear praise,” and praise is sometimes not possible, he observed.\n\nWhen the screening was over, Mr. Heller got up and saw Mr. Nichols heading out of the theater and he figured that Mr. Nichols figured that Mr. Heller did not like what they had done to his book.\n\n“I caught up with him and I took him by the arm and said, ‘I guess maybe it's the best movie I ever saw.’ That broke the ice and we went out and had a sandwich to gether.”\n\nMr. Heller has since re vised his judgment, after a second viewing, in only two respects. He does not guess, he knows, that “Catch‐22” is the best American movie he ever saw. There are a few foreign films—“8½,” “Battle of Algiers,” “Bicycle Thief” —that he likes as well.\n\nIf he had not liked the film, he would have gone into deep silence, he said. When he saw how his script for “We Bombed in New Haven” was turned into a stage production, he said, “I've learned how to suffer excruciating torture without uttering a sound.”\n\nAlan Arkin's performance as Yossarian strikes him as subtle, nonhistrionic, a work of “surpassing artistry.”\n\n**Minor Objections**\n\nOddly, he likes the movie as much for its infidelity to his book as for its faithful ness to it. His objections are all of quibble‐size.\n\n“It's really an original cre ation,” Mr. Heller said. “The beginning of the movie is nowhere described in the book. At the end of the movie, Yossarian goes out in the ocean, with a little pad dle and a rubber raft, to row to Sweden. That's not in the book, but it's exactly the ef fect I tried to create with the ending of the novel.\n\n“Nichols was not trying to make an easy commercial movie. I was very glad that he didn't go for an easy froth of comedy and sex. He went for the somber parts of ‘Catch‐22’\n\n“I never thought of ‘Catch 22’ as a comic novel, though the fact that it makes peo ple laugh delights me. I was calculating when I wanted the reader to be amused, and when I wanted him to be ashamed that he was amused.\n\n“My literary bent as a writer is more toward the morbid and the tragic. Great carnage is taking place, and my idea was to use humor to make ridiculous the things that are irrational and very terrible that are going on.”\n\n- Share full article\n\n## Related Content\n###

Boilerpipe Text	A great stretch of cow patch in Mexico was taken for the purpose. “We had to build a blacktop road five miles from the Mexican high way to our site,” Mr. Calley said, “Then we laid an air strip, which was a mile and a half long. We put in a whole Air Force base, and if you don't think we did, let me tell you that we all ate in the mess hall.” It was such a sturdy little encampment that it took Pentagon‐sized appropriation of explosives to blow it up. “We used 17,000 sticks of dy namite and eight tons of black powder and thousands of gallons of gasoline,” Buck Henry recounted yestetday, between takes of the film he is now acting in, Milos For man's “S.P.F.C.,” on location in Greenwich Village. “This was all set in place by eight of the most har assed, sleepless, pouchy eyed wretches you have ever seen in your life,” Mr. Henry went on. “When it went off, it was the biggest pyrotech nics display ever seen in Mexico. Units of the Mexi can Army had to be posted around the site because men were bringing their wives and children from all over to see it.

A two‐hour film version of the novel, directed by Mike Nichols and written by Buck Henry, opens here next week at two theaters. It has been the object of intense advance interest and speculation. It cost \$14.4‐million to pro duce and required the reas sembling of a World War II B‐25 bomber squadron large ly from junk aircraft, among other expensive touches. Mr. Heller's long‐running best‐seller, published in 1961, has sold about five million copies throughout the world (there were two printings in Ukrainian before the govern ment discovered that it was not just a funny book about World War II) and has be come, in a curious way, a fa vorite novel of the anti Vietnam war set. Paperbacks Show Rise This year, the paperback printings jumped from 100, 000 each to 200,000 and the release of the picture seems likely to create a new de mand for the book. Students see the novel, the singular offspring of comedy wedded to tragedy, as a sly way of making World War II back fire on the war in Vietnam. Doc Daneeka, Major Major, General Dreedle, Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder, Hungry Joe and 21 other characters, selected from the 42 the the author created in the novel, will be seen first at the Sutton and the new Paramount Theaters here. The novel's circular plot requires, at one point, the blowing up of an American bomber base in Italy (in Mr. Heller's twist, it is the Ameri cans who do it under a con tract that the profiteering impulse has spurred them to make with the Germans). Base Is Blown Up “The way we achieved the blowing up of the base was that we blew up the base,” John Calley, the producer of the Paramount‐Filmways re lease, explained. They had to build it first, of course. It was impossible to find a place to build it in Italy or in France, partly because of television antennas on roof tops, which would have sub verted the illusion of the 1940's on which the film depends. ## Editors’ Picks [![](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2025/09/21/multimedia/21ST-SHAI-CONVERSE-QA-01-pqlj/21ST-SHAI-CONVERSE-QA-01-pqlj-thumbLarge.jpg)A Championship, an M.V.P. and a Signature Shoe?

Reactions Vary “The army was there part ly because they didn't want students coming in and steal ing the dynamite to blow up vicious men with.” Advance showings of the film have inspired two reac tions chiefly, the writer actor (who plays Colonel Korn in the movie) finds. “We're getting love and loathing,” he said. “The world seems to be divided among people who feel no relationship at all to the material in ‘Catch‐22,’ and people who stand on that ground.” Whatever anyone else may say, pro or con, about the picture, there is one man who is in a position to like it or not to like it for reasons only he can harbor—the man who wrote the book. “Mike Nichols and I cher ished the book,” Mr. Calley said, “One of our night mares was that Joe Heller might not like the film.” This nightmare came to its climax on the night Mr. Heller went to a private screening and sat, alone, among empty rows in a small theater, with his wife and daughter seated somewhere behind him, and Mr. Nichols lurking at the back. “I was prepared not to like the movie,” Mr. Heller said in an interview. “It's a matter of vanity. My feeling is that complex novels don't make good movies. I never ex pected anything of a movie of my novel. It wouldn't have bothered me if a movie had never been made. “It's always a little awk ward at these screenings be cause people get you there to hear praise,” and praise is sometimes not possible, he observed. When the screening was over, Mr. Heller got up and saw Mr. Nichols heading out of the theater and he figured that Mr. Nichols figured that Mr. Heller did not like what they had done to his book. “I caught up with him and I took him by the arm and said, ‘I guess maybe it's the best movie I ever saw.’ That broke the ice and we went out and had a sandwich to gether.” Mr. Heller has since re vised his judgment, after a second viewing, in only two respects. He does not guess, he knows, that “Catch‐22” is the best American movie he ever saw. There are a few foreign films—“8½,” “Battle of Algiers,” “Bicycle Thief” —that he likes as well. If he had not liked the film, he would have gone into deep silence, he said. When he saw how his script for “We Bombed in New Haven” was turned into a stage production, he said, “I've learned how to suffer excruciating torture without uttering a sound.” Alan Arkin's performance as Yossarian strikes him as subtle, nonhistrionic, a work of “surpassing artistry.” Minor Objections Oddly, he likes the movie as much for its infidelity to his book as for its faithful ness to it. His objections are all of quibble‐size. “It's really an original cre ation,” Mr. Heller said. “The beginning of the movie is nowhere described in the book. At the end of the movie, Yossarian goes out in the ocean, with a little pad dle and a rubber raft, to row to Sweden. That's not in the book, but it's exactly the ef fect I tried to create with the ending of the novel. “Nichols was not trying to make an easy commercial movie. I was very glad that he didn't go for an easy froth of comedy and sex. He went for the somber parts of ‘Catch‐22’ “I never thought of ‘Catch 22’ as a comic novel, though the fact that it makes peo ple laugh delights me. I was calculating when I wanted the reader to be amused, and when I wanted him to be ashamed that he was amused. “My literary bent as a writer is more toward the morbid and the tragic. Great carnage is taking place, and my idea was to use humor to make ridiculous the things that are irrational and very terrible that are going on.” - Share full article ## Related Content ### Editors’ Picks -
