The surface story is pretty simple. The 918th Heavy Bomb Group, based in England at the very beginning of American participation in World War II, suffered heavier than the average losses. Men and their commander, Colonel Keith Davenport (Gary Merrill), think they are bad luck. Their commanding general think the problem is more practical, and send in the hard-Brig. General Frank Savage (Gregory Peck) to whip the unit into shape. It does that through hard sometimes cruel discipline.As men learn to suppress their fears and concerns and to function as a group, they manage to achieve their goals and reduce their losses. But this is not the real story. The real story is what is going on inside men. I do not mean disrespect to John Wayne (frankly, I think that John Wayne could have managed the game very well Frank Savage), but you know what I mean when I say it's not the kind typical film war that we associate with John Wayne. Gregory Peck General Savage sometimes pushes people too hard, and it is not as confident as he seems. There is a splendid little moment when his adjutant, Lieutenant ColonelStovall (Dean Jagger) said, "You know the difference between the colonel and the general Davenport Savage? Savage is the general about it much larger. "In the end, the roles Davenport and Savage get very much reversed. A friend of mine who is a veteran says it's the war movie as realistic as ever. It's remarkable when you consider it was made ​​in 1949, taking into account all the special effects the progress that has been made ​​since then, and changes in tolerance hearing screen gore. What sets it apart Twelve O'Clock High narration exceptional , a deep understanding of the human heart.
