Austin American-Statesman

Dudley Early

A very satisfying motion picture, 12 O'Clock High does not quite get over that indefinable line which marks the beginning of greatness.

It is one of the best treatments of World War II. but not without its defects. These include its length and some of the old war picture cliches. But the acting (especially Peck) and direction approach greatness.

... one of the first and arguably the greatest of the Hollywood films to examine the pressures of command and the psychological toll of making life and death decisions for men they come know and care for ...

Gripping psychological war drama has more talk than action.

Peck is superb as the man out of his depth, while King's solid direction and some fine camerawork make Twelve O'Clock High one of the most compelling examples of the genre.
