The Great Waldo Pepper	comment	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.

The Great Waldo Pepper / int_cfdb9e17	type	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.
