George Roy Hill: Slaughterhouse Five + The Great Waldo Pepper
George Roy Hill’s post-wartime classics boast stellar casts including Robert Redford, Bo Svenson, Margot Kidder, Susan Sarandon, Michael Sacks, and Valerie Perrine.
Slaughterhouse Five
USA, 1972, 35mm, 104m
An adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s satire about the time-tripping Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks), temporally unstuck between a traumatic wartime past, his present-day suburban existence, and life in an alien zoo on the planet Tralfamadore. A blackly comic antiwar statement and a poignant study of psychic dislocation. With a memorable Valerie Perrine as porn star Montana Wildhack.
Followed by:
The Great Waldo Pepper
USA, 1975, 35mm, 107m
Hill’s third team-up with writer William Goldman and star Robert Redford punctures posturing heroics in the story of a World War I pilot turned aerial stuntman (Redford) who flies around the Midwest putting on barnstorming shows and joins a flying circus, but becomes increasingly disillusioned after a series of misfortunes. Featuring Bo Svenson, Margot Kidder, and Susan Sarandon.
