The best line in a satire since "You can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

"On Wings as Eagles" is the greatest running gag in film history since "Frau Blucher".

Yep and I love the end where they lose the ransom money right after they betray their own beliefs by naming themselves servants of the cause rather than equal contributors that should share in the profits.

@@snowball9913 I mean sure, they're not directly profiting, but there's two glaring issues: a) the income inequality between her and them, the fact that they live in this privileged elite world while she only enters it and observes it from a subservient position when she goes to work b) despite all of their talk about work ethic, they cannot bring themselves to do something ordinary people do everyday: housework. They have to hire somebody else to work for them.

I think it's funny that the guy who teaches the "study group" about direct action has trouble navigating his way down three stairs

Love the guy in the back like “plus we make a little dough.” Totally dismantles the ultimate point of the “study group” lol.

Ah the perfect of doublespeak.!! And being directly obtuse.

Patrick Fischler in this scene @ around 0:12 seconds.....guy who replies 'i did not'. ....he was in Mulholland Drive. guy in the diner...wigging out over the 'phantom' in the alley. freaky scary scene.

Is that Bernard the Head Elf?

Can you spot the following people in this scene? =) Alvah Bessie, Herbert Biberman, Lester Cole, Edward Dmytryk, Ring Lardner, Jr., John Howard Lawson, Albert Maltz, Samuel Ornitz, Adrian Scott, and Dalton Trumbo.

Action

Of course it’s the WRITERS plotting, because who’s traditionally lower on the Hollywood food chain than the writers…they don’t get no respect 😂

Can someone here please explain how the film works if Burt Gurney spilled the beans about On Wings as Eagles anyway? Wouldn’t that completely ruin the blackmail and leave Baird to name names? Seems like a bit of a plot hole that I’ve not been able to resolve.

Their plan isn't particularly well thought out. The holes in it (like Baird choosing to not peacefully comply), were conveniently forgotten; a common trope in Communist thought.

@orinjball5138

How is it a plot hole when Baird is unaware of how widespread the story is or who told them about it? Plus there's the fact that he's very protective of his reputation as an actor playing in a religious film. That seems good enough for psychological coercion.

I've just realised that the guy with the black hair and mustache is Oscar Isaac!

@@jon8004 I felt it was pretty clear that the film sympathizes with the hardworking everymen and not these chumps.

This scene sums up why movies / art / media is like it is now, the creators are not respected or rewarded correctly but the window dressing is. The actors who just do as told are rewarded excessively.
