Twelve O'Clock High
Twelve O'Clock High
Stars: Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill, Millard Mitchell, Dean JaggerDirector: Henry King
Summary: Dashing Gregory Peck stars as General Frank Savage, commander of the 8th Air Force during World War II. Loosely based on the true story of Major General Frank A. Armstrong, TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH begins with Savage appearing to be a fearless fighter with almost no compassion for his men. Told in flashback from the perspective of Major Harvey Stovall (Dean Jagger), the story unfolds as Savage takes over Stovall's Bomb Group in 1942. The company has suffered numerous losses, morale is at an all-time low, and the tired pilots and their crews are immediately antagonised by Savage's obsession with discipline, leaving Savage and Stovall with the onerous task of rebuilding the pride of a fighting force that despises its leader. Jagger received an Oscar for his efforts, but the real star is Peck, exhibiting a vast repertoire to portray a complicated character. Using actual combat footage from both American and German cameras, director Henry King creates an environment in which bravery and heroism count but war itself is anything but romantic.

Gritty , World War 2 action drama , directed by Henry King and starring Gregory Peck and Hugh Marlowe , told in flashback from the perspective of Major Harvey Stovall ( Dean Jagger ), the story unfolds
as Savage ( Gregory Peck ) takes over Stovall's Bomb Group in 1942.
This film was seen as one of the most realistic portrayals of the heroics and perils of war and surely must be one of Gregory Peck's
best performances. Plenty of edge of the seat action.
