Not Rated | 2h 12min | Drama, War | 1949
There was a concerted effort to move toward more realism in war movies during the years following World War II. This is not to say that all Hollywood films became more realistic, but many of the top productions embraced a more sobering perspective of war and eschewed many of the tropes of earlier films. “Twelve O'Clock High,” from 1949, is one film that led the charge into this new, more realistic era.
