Product Description

An Allied flight commander and his successor run daylight bombing raids out of England. Directed by Henry King. Best supporting Oscar for Jagger.

Amazon.com

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

An incredible story of wartime stress and the effects of maximum pressure.

ByTheNoviceBushcrafteron July 9, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This is an oldie but an amazing movie regardless of age. They use a mixture of on set and archival war footage for this film and do a fantastic job of seamlessly mixing them together. The acting is wonderful and is very convincing drawing you in to the characters and keeping you interested the whole film. It does an excellent job telling the story of what war does to those who are pushed to the limit. It shows that no matter how tough, rigid, or structured a person is, if you push them hard enough, they will snap under the stresses of war. This is a must own for any WWII enthusiast! Also, a little insight to the name of the movie. The Luftwaffe always attacked by use of the bright Sun to mask them from view of the American gunners aboard the bombers, which was often at the Twelve O' Clock position coming down from above. Hence the name of the movie, "Twelve O' Clock High".

Great movie; bad transfer

ByMichael Joneson July 7, 2012

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This war movie features a compelling story and strong performances--not only by Gregory Peck (who was justly nominated for an Academy Award), but by all of the actors. If one of the marks of a great story is honesty, then this movie has it in spades. It feels real. You care about the characters. They do not come across as fake or plastic. I cannot believe that I have never seen it up until now.

Unfortunately, the quality of the video is poor in many places. While some scenes are up to DVD quality, many others are faded or grainy. The source material was obviously not restored or digitally remastered, which is a shame. I was hoping that it would resemble the Blu-ray version of Casablanca in appearance, but it looks more like the old DVD version of All Quiet on the Western Front.

My rating of four stars is for the story and acting. If I was rating only for video quality, it would only get a "1."

They simply could not make a movie like this today

Bytopcheon October 4, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

They simply could not make a movie like this today. Since it was filmed in 1949 you might say the " muscle memory " of the characters was truly authentic for the war years. It was all so casual , natural and real. Smoking was not an affectation. The speech mannerisms and figures of speech ( " build yourself a drink " ) were absolutely real and natural. I saw some of these same mannerisms in other WWII vets ,who served in the AAF during the War . Peck's speech in front of the group advising them " not to make plans , and consider yourself already dead " was a reflection of a harsh reality that many of the flyers lived by. A great movie.

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF COMMAND HAVING TO MAKE DECISIONS. IT WAS A CASE STUDY IN STAFF COLLEGE.

ByRICHARD CLIFFORDon May 9, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

THE MILITARY KNOWS ALL TO WELL THAT THE MISSION COMES FIRST AND MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED. WITHOUT PROPER DISCIPLINE LIVES WILL BE NEEDLESSLY LOST. DISCIPLINE ALSO ENHANCES UNIT ESPIRIT DE CORPS AND THE WILL TO SUCCED.
ALTHOUGH THIS FILM PORTRAYES A FICTICIOUS BOMB GROUP, IT REPRESENTS THE STORY OF AN ACTUAL "HARD LUCK GROUP". EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL IN ALL MILITARY OPERATIONS. SEE THE FILM.

Superb movie for studying leadership styles

ByMaggoton April 3, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Superb movie and used by some "leadership" schools as a vehicle to study leadership characteristics. Strong acting by almost every single character! The themes portrays the US Army Air Corps in England at the beginning of the war and many of the numerous challenges imposed by daylight bombing without support from fighter aircraft.

Still great after all these years

ByTR manon April 25, 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I bought this latest edition of Twelve O'Clock High to update my collection and to have the second disc with the special features. The film remains a true classic that every serious student or buff of WWII or aviation history should have in his or her collection, but I was disappointed with the special features on the 2nd disc. There was one main feature that was quite good that gave some good historical background on the making of the film (which is what I was hoping for), but the other features were very short and disappointing and were mostly made up of clips from the longer feature. I was hoping for much more. One short feature does present a number of movie posters of the film, but overall, given the nature of the subject and the importance of the film, I was hoping for much more.

My Review of Twelve O’clock High (1949)

ByLouis J. Barbieron April 23, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a classic film of warfare in the skies over Europe depicts the ultimate, definitive example of military leadership. In my US Navy career it was used as a training tool to show the different types of leadership competencies. This classic World War II drama features Gregory Peck in an Academy Award nominated 'Best Actor' role as General Frank Savage, who’s assigned to take over the Eight Air Force Mission of “daylight precision bombing” at a unit early in the war that is suffering staggering losses of both planes and crews. This great film was nominated for ‘Best Picture’ and earned Dean Jagger a Best Supporting Actor statuette in his only nomination of his acting career. The film begins with Jagger’s character purchasing a Robin Hood Toby mug, which was used to indicate to all base personnel that a mission is scheduled for the day. After buying the mug keepsake he goes by train to Archbury and then bicycles to the site of the runways and the base, now overgrown with weeds, where this great heroic story had taken place some seven years earlier. I gave---this film five stars because if you have ever seen a B-17 Flying Fortress at an air show you can appreciate the courage it took to fly and fight in what was then the state of the art. The film will clearly show the sacrifice of these young men who dare to do what others thought impossible and did it when called upon. The film also touches on ‘maximum effort’ what it is and what does it mean. In conclusion the aerial footage is real combat film footage that makes you wonder at time how an aircrew could live and survive the flack over the target area. If you desire an education and actually see what the greatest generation did to keep our world free than I highly recommend this film ‘Twelve O' Clock High’ with that memorable actor Gregory Peck.

ByRobertJon August 16, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Purchased this to replace a VHS tape. Peck is superb as the no-nonsense commander who whips a sad-sack bomber unit into shape. Lots of lessons on leadership which are just as applicable to today as then. This is often cited as the most realistic portrayal of the WWII air war.
