Plot Outline: A dramatization of the American general and his court martial for publically complaining about High Commands dismissal and neglect of the aerial fighting forces.
Plot: The true story of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneering crusader for the Armys fledgling air corp. In spite of an impressive performance during the First World War, the commanders of Americas armed forces still think of the airplane as little more then a carnival attraction. Even after sinking an “unsinkable” captured German battleship from the air, Mitchell sees funds dry up and friends die due to poor equipment. He is court-martialed after questioning the loyalty of his superiors for allowing the air corp to deteriorate.

Plot holes: In the flashback sequences throughout Endless Waltz, the flashbacks imply that the “custom” style Gundams featured here are the ones the pilots have had all along – obviously incorrect and inconsistent with the series.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list – like these:

The Mitchell family was very unhappy with the film, especially the casting of the tall, laconic Gary Cooper in the lead role. The real Billy Mitchell was short with an explosive temper. The family thought James Cagney would have been ideal.

Continuity: SPOILER: The scene where the trailer is pushed over the cliff begins in the middle of the night. As the vehicle heads over the edge it is pitch dark. Moments later, as the hero leaves the scene it is inexplicably broad daylight. Given the illegal nature of the event it is unlikely he would have stayed at the site for hours until sunrise.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list – like these:

Helen Mirren was supposed to play the part of Ranyevskaya, eventually played by Charlotte Rampling. She was involved with the project from the very beginning and even attended the rehearsals. But when director Michael Cacoyannis announced that no one was to leave Bulgaria during the 3 months of filming she pulled out.

Glenn Close was the second choice for Ranyevskaya. After Helen Mirren withdrew she was called to replace her. She was busy with Robert Altmans Cookies Fortune (1999) at the time, so she refused the part at the last minute. Charlotte Rampling eventually got it.

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
During the first seasons opening credits, for some reason neither The Professor (Russell Johnson) nor Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) received an onscreen billing, nor were they referred to in the theme song. They are just referred to as “… and the rest.” For season two they were added at the request of Bob Denver, who played “Gilligan” and thought it was stupid to leave out the two actors just to shorten the song by a few notes.

Trivia: There are 6 entries in the trivia list – like these:

The opening images are of the Serra Pelada goldmines in Brazil.

As this film is more international in flavor than its predecessor, “Koyaanisqatsi”, the music by Philip Glass reflects this and draws its themes from other cultures.

Godfrey Reggio was uncomfortable using the latest film-making technology considering that his theme was back-to-basics living. However, he countered this by realizing that technology is unavoidably ingrained into our way of life.
