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.

  • Typical Gregory Peck - A Classic

    No actor had the class and talent that Gregory Peck had. He was always my favorite.... well.... I'd better say ONE of my favorites, because there were many actors of the time period that I loved. Acting back in the 40's (this movie was 1949) was remarkable, because the actors seemed somehow more purist in nature. There was no pretense or fabrication like there is today in films. Pay scale was alot different then too, which made the acting more genuine and real. Darryl Zanuck was a top-notch film producer and all of his films are well-recognized and highly praised. This film is no different. It won two academy awards: Best Supporting Actor - Dean Jagger and Best Sound Recording. Run time is 2 hours and 12 minutes.
