Summary: twelve o'clock high
Comment: This film was required viewing for an Army advanced officer class because of the way it depicts three contrasting leadership styles. The acting was superb as was the use of actual gun camera footage and actual crashes as opposed to the special effects so common today. I recommend this film for all those who enjoy character development and acting. Despite being a war movie, the only action scenes are a clip in the beginning and the end of the film. The actors carry the film and its no wonder it received so many Academy Award nominations.

Summary: A Real Look at Commanding a B17 Group
Comment: The realism in this film is what makes it one of my all time favorites. The footage of real B17s in operation; the real war footage while on a mission, and the story itself are as good as it gets. The extra commentary on the second DVD is a wonderful addition of insights to making the film.

Editorial Reviews:
|
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.
