“Twelve O’Clock High” is one of the finest films ever made..War, avaition, and the psychological study of men under great stress. I was tryign to lmit the thread to non-military films.. As great as the film is, the book is also a superb read. I have a copy..Long out of print..they show up on Amazon from $50 - $500. Why they don’t make it available for an e-reader I don’t understand.
Agreed. It is a great movie about leadership and men under stress. Nothing corny about that movie.
As a movie about leadership, I rank it up there with “The Caine Mutiny” with respect to the excellent lessons one can learn from the movie.
The War Lover wasn’t bad, and had a lot of great B-17 footage that looked to be flown by ex B17 pilots, just for the movie.
