   Joseph Heller's novel was one of the seminal literary events of the 1960s, but Mike Nichols's film ultimately proved too literal in its attempt to bring Heller's fragmented fiction to the screen. Still, Nichols, who made this on the heels of The Graduate, seemed the ideal candidate to tackle this Buck Henry adaptation. The story deals with bomber pilot Yossarian (Alan Arkin), who has flown enough  missions to get out of World War II but can't because the number of missions needed for discharge keeps getting raised. The satire and  absurdity of Heller's book get lost in Nichols's effort to give screen time to the members of his all-star cast, which includes Orson Welles,  Jon Voight, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins, Richard Benjamin, and Martin Sheen, among others. --Marshall Fine.

This is an exciting portrayal of the first American attack on Japan in World War II. Featuring Spencer Tracy as Gen. Doolittle and with Oscar-winning special effects,  this is a faithful, dramatic and memorable account of the B-25 Mitchell raid on Tokyo.
There is no more ringing title among World War II movies than Thirty Seconds over Tokyo, and the mission it celebrates was  unquestionably historic: a 400-mile bombing raid to carry the war to Japan itself mere months after that nation's sneak attack on Pearl  Harbor. Yet the film is less memorable than many World War II pictures with less exalted factual basis. At the time, critic James Agee eloquently  defined both its virtues and limitations as "a big-studio, big-scale film, free of artistic pretension ... transformed by its not very imaginative  but very dogged sincerity into something forceful, simple, and thoroughly sympathetic in spite of all its big-studio, big-scale habits." That  remains true today, but perhaps the movie--and its unimpeachably noble, admirably life-sized characters--wouldn't seem so stuck in the  amber of a bygone era if Mervyn LeRoy and company had pumped a little "artistic pretension" into it.
