Review

One of the greatest war films of all time. Gregory Peck shines in a difficult and unlikable role. To read my "Video Risk" of this and 5 other FOX War Classics click here.

The Disc

Great movie, picture and sound. No extras.

Picture Quality: 10/10
No pixilation. Great black and white photography. Nice transfer. Of the old black and white films in the series, this one looks the best. While "Halls of Montezuma" is my favorite of the older films in this series, "Twelve O'clock High" is by far a better movie.

Sound Quality: 10/10
So what if it isn't 5.1 surround, listen to those Pratt and Whitney engines roar. I get chills everytime I hear them lift off!

Menu: 10/10
Nice use of images from the movie. Easy to navigate.

Extra Features: 0/10
No nothing! Not even trailers! I know they could have found the film of Dean Jagger accepting his Oscar! This was a big movie. What better way to preserve the old news reel footage than on a DVD which would make the material pertinent!

The Final Word:
