Twelve O'Clock High (Special Edition) Summary This Gritty World War Ii Action Drama Staring Gregory Peck, Oscar Winner Dean Jagger, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill And Millard Mitchell Is Seen As One Of The Most Realistic Portrayals Of The Heroics And Perils Of War. Convinced An Air Force Commander (gary Merrill) Is At The Breaking Point, Brigadier General Savage (peck) Takes Over His Struggling Bomber Group. Kind And Understanding, He Adopts A Crushing Discipline To Revitalize The Demoralized Troop. At First Resentful And Rebellious, The Flyers Gradually Change As Savage Guides Them To Amazing Feats. But The Stress Of Command Soon Takes It's Toll And The Weary General Reaches His Own Breaking Point.

The wartime memories of surviving World War II bomber squadrons were still crystal clear when this acclaimed drama was released in 1949--one of the first postwar films out of Hollywood to treat the war on emotionally complex terms. Framed by a postwar prologue and epilogue and told as a flashback appreciation of wartime valor and teamwork, the film stars Gregory Peck in one of his finest performances as a callous general who assumes command of a bomber squadron based in England. At first, the new commander has little rapport with the 918th Bomber Group, whose loyalties still belong with their previous commander. As they continue to fly dangerous missions over Germany, however, the group and their new leader develop mutual respect and admiration, until the once-alienated commander feels that his men are part of a family--men whose bravery transcends the rigors of rigid discipline and by-the-book leadership. The film's now-classic climax, in which the general waits patiently for his squad to return to base--painfully aware that they may not return at all--is one of the most subtle yet emotionally intense scenes of any World War II drama. With Peck in the lead and Dean Jagger doing Oscar-winning work in a crucial supporting role, this was one of veteran director Henry King's proudest achievements, and it still packs a strong dramatic punch. --Jeff Shannon
