Catch-22 (1970)
Mike Nichols' 1970 Heller adaptation. Substantial source material that the film handles only partially.

Goodbye Columbus and Catch-22 gave him earlier work, and he won a Golden Globe for The Sunshine Boys. He then moved almost entirely into directing, making My Favorite Year, Mermaids and The Money Pit.
