Catch 22 Major Major.mpg

From the Movie Catch 22. Bob Newhart stars as Major Major, the reluctant laundry officer who is promoted to be the new Squadron Commander because he is the only Major available.

I love how the pictures continually change as he walks back and forth.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

It becomes Stalin after he puts the moustache on.

[@gkprivate433]

yes. starts with FDR, then Stalin, and Churchill. all 3 major allied leaders

[@cockeyedoptimista]

​@@gkprivate433 Thank you, I didn't know who the first image was (FDR: my phone is small..) (Also, Stalin is last..)

[@biggles1111]

Hahah! Look at the picture on the wall! First it's Roosevelt, then it's Churchill, and finally it's Stalin! I can't believe they put down effort in such a hilariously unnecessary detail! What a lovely movie!

[@kindafoggy]

Watched this a million times and never caught that! Thanks

[@AlanCanon2222]

WOW! Good eye!

[@MrStephenRGilman]

I’ve watched this movie at least a dozen times. Never noticed that detail.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Was that in the book? (Lol..) Edit: oops, your comment is 13 years old! It's still a perfectly relevant comment, though, about how lovely a film this was, to have taken the trouble over a detail like changing those pictures on the wall! (FDR to Churchill to Stalin.) Wild!

[@craigjillson6050]

Never noticed that. Wow.

RIP BOB

[@rancosteel]

The casting and photography was incredible.

[@HHM706]

Its hilarious the way everyone calls him Father in such a contemptuous way!

[@ffarkasm]

Especially that he is protestant, and it is only a convention among catholics to call a priest "father".

[@brinsonharris9816]

Why did WHO do WHAT? Newhart rules!

[@toddanderson6775]

Notice the pictures keep changing in the office scene first Roosevelt then Churchill then Stalin

[@wrmty56413]

They should've cast Henry Fonda.

[@MR.B00_]

Jim X: Why? Newhart was ideally perfect.

[@cro44magnum]

@@MR.B00_ It's an in-joke. In the novel and the movie, the Major Major character is supposed to resemble Henry Fonda.

[@Tindometari]

@@cro44magnum They figured the actor had to either be as close to the anti-Fonda as they could get, or else *be* Henry Fonda -- nothing in between. Bob Newhart was the inspired choice.

[@TrueCourse]

@biggles1111 LOL Biggles! I was about to say the same thing. I had to go back to make sure that I wasn't missing something. Great movie! :)

[@ab8588]

A movie with so many stars

[@dr.coffinnails]

Pretty much the only funny scene in the movie. Should have made the movie just about Major Major.

[@Protectobot]

😁

[@AlanCanon2222]

When the Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart is the most over the top actor in the scene.

[@ivorbiggun710]

Sgt Towser is brilliant.

[@brinsonharris9816]

Love when Newhart offers him a handshake and he salutes.

[@wrmty56413]

Love his smug smile when he says "We all have to do our part, I guess"

[@Tindometari]

Moustache moustache ...

[@pauljackson2409]

He was promoted to Major, by an IBM machine with a sense of humour!

Hi Bob !

[@mikeat2637]

This movie has more comedic lines than anything but a Monty Python movie, though you could slip Mel Brooks in there. But the best part is that it's a combination of all types of comedy, from a to z. I keep forgetting how funny it actually is, which means I have to dust off the Blu-Ray and watch it.

[@Da_Publick]

This is the only 'Fourth Wall' break in the movie, but it's a whopper because it's unexpected

[@hyperhumana]

Why is there Stalin on the wall?

[@TheRobin53]

+Tele Player Are you both blind? It's clearly Churchill.

[@ReverendBenzo]

Look at 2:28 again.

[@Lupinthe3rd.]

The best story from that movie was the Elephant Funeral.
