A comedy on the mal-adaptations human beings make
in the "Theatre of War"
This superb dramatization of the classic spoof of war and those who make it pay is told from the point of view of Captain Yossarian, a flyer convinced his number is up.
Every time Yo Yo reaches his quota of missions, the requirements are increased until he flatly refuses to fly. A C.O. bucking for general, a mess officer who runs an international cartel in scarce commodities, the ex-PFC who really runs the war by deciding which mail should go from one general to another, undercover agents who end up investigating each other, a Roman prostitute trying to kill Yossarian, the Army nurse with whom he is briefly in love, and the lads who die too young all are splendidly presented with dramatic immediacy.
