Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Great Waldo Pepper is a 1975 film directed by George Roy Hill and starring Robert Redford in the title role. Also in the cast are Bo Svenson, Margot Kidder, Edward Herrmann, and Susan Sarandon.In the 1920s, Waldo Pepper is a down-on-his luck former World War I pilot who gets by on making barnstorming appearances, giving rides and doing stunts... all of which are getting harder to hold the public's attention with, as airplanes are becoming more common.Waldo also feels cheated by the fact that he never got to fly against the greatest of German aces, Ernst Kessler. When a series of disastrous mishaps derails his life, it puts him in a place to not only meet the famed ace, but test his flying skills. | |

Ace Pilot: Most of the main characters, but Ernst Kessler is the one that everyone keeps trying to match. | |

Buzzing the Deck: Kessler starts his air performance with an upside down low pass that causes the announcer to fall over. Later after Ezra crashes, Waldo, furious at the crowds who came to gawk but did nothing to help, gets in a plane and starts buzzing them to drive them away from the wreckage. | |

California Doubling: In-Universe, as they're filming a movie about air battle of World War I over France, but the filming's being done in California. | |

Bystander Syndrome | |
The Great Waldo Pepper / int_c83f40d8 | comment |
Bystander Syndrome: After Ezra crashes, and especially after the wreck catches fire, the gathered crowd just stands around and watches as Waldo tries to pull him out by himself. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
The Great Waldo Pepper / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: Most of the film is a fairly light-hearted account of barnstorming pilots during the 1920s until Mary Beth falls off a plane during a failed wing-walking stunt. After that, it's one tragic incident after another. When it was released, The Great Waldo Pepper was considered a box office disappointment. The screenwriter of the film, William Goldman, later admitted the wing-walking scene was the point in the movie where they lost the audience. | |
