This and Comma 22 (1970), two films satirizing mid-twentieth century American wars (World War II, American engagement 1941-1945; and the Korean War, American engagement 1950-1953), were released in the same year. Of the two films, MASH (1970), based on a best-selling novel, and Catch-22 (1970), also based on a best-selling novel, featured a huge cast, and boasted director Mike Nichols fresh from his success with Il laureato (1967), Catch-22 was expected to be the more successful film. When the reverse proved to be true, Robert Altman hung a banner in his office reading, "Caught-22".
