About this product

Product Information

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 antagonized 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.

  • Great movie!👍

    The movie was produced in 1949 in black and white resembling the true nature WW II presented with much of the film coming from actual war films. Gregory Peck a talented actor played the leading actor and in true Gregory Peck fashion. This movie is not only educational but highlights leadership and true meaning of the challenges of those who served in our military missions and the affects of moral challenges and the troops. If you are a collector of classic movies then consider this original treasure by adding to your collection👍😁
