Twelve O'Clock High (1949) starring Gregory Peck, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill, Millard Mitchell, Dean Jagger. Peck plays General Frank Savage, an Army Air Force officer in World War II who is tasked with taking over an air group and restoring morale. He thinks the previous commanding officer failed because he cared too much about the men. Only trouble is, after Savage whips the air group into shape and commands it for a while, he falls prey to the same "weakness." This is a pretty good movie, even inspiring, but the ending feels a little flabby. Good subtitles. Grade: B+
