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.

  • One of the best dramas ever!

    I love this movie! All the characters do their parts so well. It is more of a drama than a war movie, with few actual battle scenes. This movie is all about what goes on in the thoughts and feelings of the men involved. It is worth watching the supporting cast even if they aren't the main character in the scene. (Both Dean Jagger and Hugh Marlowe do a superb job with facial expressions and body language to fill out their characters.) Quality was excellent on this DVD.

  • Courage, sacrifice, honor in black and white.

    A story of relentless sacrifice by American Airmen during WW II. Many war movies have come out of Hollywood, but since film and cinema found its place in the world, few movies can match the human drama, the script, the acting, the directing and the truthfulness of 'Twelve O'Clock High'. The entire cast turned in masterful performances.

  • Shows the courageous side of history

    I was a fan of the show that had 78 episodes. I saw the movie when I was a kid because I was a history fanatic on conflicts. Movies like this inspired me to join the Army. I am also a nostalgic.

  • Title refers to the position german fighters preferred for attack due to the lack of a chin gun torrent in the early B17 nose section.

    These DVD's are of Impeccable quality complete with yellow on black CC. I rate it as the best of my WW2 collection!
