1949's TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH - MAY 1, 2026 - YOU TUBE VIDEO: MOVIE TRAILER

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.

Director: Henry King.

Based on the novel by Beirne Lay, Jr. and Sy Bartlett.

Screenplay by Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay, Jr.

Producer: Darryl F. Zanuck.

Composer: Alfred Newman
