Despite your witty CK remark, you couldn't be more wrong about C-22 vis-a-vis the
 movie,  The only thing one remembers from the film is those enormous bloated shots
 of--(you thought I was gonna say Orson Welles, didn't you Steely?)--B-25 bombers, and oh
 yeah, the even larger shots of Big O (yes Oscar Roberstson in a cameo appearance!).
Seriously, Nichols (sp?) tried to make it a *war* story, which it ain't IMO.  Or is only in 
about the same sense that GR is a *war* story.
