As a Jewish/USA War propaganda movie it failed to present any cridible reference to how the Zionist Jews with the colaboration of President Rooservelt started the war. Check out the March 1833 Judean declaration of war against Germany. Not against The NAZIs but The Germans. All Germans. It says even that whilst Hitler does not want a war will will bring it to him. So the price of 6 million dead Jews is part of the price the ZIONists owe those Jews caught up in the ZIONIST/USA War. But as war criminals what do the USA care when other Nations consider war profiteering to be a war crime the USA does war crimes on an annul basis selling arms, weapons and munnitions. The declation goes on to list Japan & Italy as as those the USA/Zionists declared war against.
More than cool, if you had the privilege of known many of these men, it brings tears to your eyes. You know where they are going, what is going to be their future, if any.
How does it demonstrate that? PTSD in laymans terms could be said to be 'Karma'. IE that if you are out of order in the world or commit war crimes or other heinious acts against the inocent then that will return like a bad Ghost upon the culprits. IE The Night Terrors of rememberance and resulting from the crimes the bad karma which results in a form of alienation from the rest of society who do not experience The Night Terrors. Or Pyscologically PTSD.
When I was a Navy officer and aviator I got to attend a special two-week leadership school. We spent a half a day watching this movie and discussing it. It was the only movie used in the course. The hidden lessons of the movie are that it shows both the good and bad sides of all the archetypal leadership styles, not just for a military context, but any leadership situation.
I'd have liked to have been in on that discussion. I've watched this movie several times. I enlisted in the CGR as a Direct Petty Officer and was six months away from CWO2 when I was hit by a drunk driver. But this movie does illustrate the fine line between good and bad leadership and the need for flexibility...
Ive watched this movie for second time and just realised the attention it gives to leadership. The first 40 minutes are a masterclass in leadership. If only leaders in industry, politics and every major field could emulate this the country would be a lot better place.
One of the most powerful films about war I have ever seen. It honestly shows the true horror of war in an incredibly understated way. The aircrew are all terrified of dying and understandably try to avoid flying missions. If I had been in theirr position I know for a fact that I would have behaved in exactly the same way and been just as terrified as they were.. Also the fact that the commanding officers were put in the impossible position of having to send their crews on missions that would result in huge loss of life and as a result also suffered terribly from the guilt of what they had to do.
What a wonderful, understated way this film begins.... I particularly liked how the Dean Jagger character didn't bother explaining to the antique-shop owner why he wanted to buy the 'toby-jug', even though it was in poor condition. Millard Mitchell (Maj-Gen. Pritchard) was with Gregory Peck in the great Western, Gunfighter (1950)
The first time i met one of my great uncles from Canada i saw tattoos of fighter planes on his chest He explained they were covering the scares from when he was shot as a tail gunner in W.W.2 he was hit on the way in and hung in his seat all the way in an back .A picture of his plane showed there was nothing left but his guns and his seat he was strapped to. they told him that the only reason he lived was because of the hi altitude and cold that froze the blood and sealed the wounds so he didn't bleed out .
Filmed in 1949, how quickly nature started to reclaim the land. What a masterclass in man management too, hard but effecive. I rember this film was in colour upto where he ducked under the fence into the old airbase then it changed back to black and white, a tremendous effect , we were used to seeing footage in b & w so it seemed that mire realistic.
Many thanks, and to our friend Charles Landry in Winter Park who has lived this and survived. He was also just 21 and at this time they did not have the escort P-47s and P-51s, so they had to fly half the missions alone. And the Luftwaffe was still strong so their experienced pilots were still around and well able to kill you. He was stationed at Alconbury which this movie seems to pattern Archbury after. We are lucky to have had men like these. What were you up to when you were 21...?
there are times when i think we should lock all our politicians in cinemas, both here and abroad and force them to watch these films to remind them of what thier job is and should be. and not what they have become these past few decades. and how old these men and women were. maybe just maybe it would shame them enough to become human beings with empathy again and not the greedy ignorant people they all seem to be.
No matter the individual, very man has a physical and/or psychological breaking point. These are not flaws to be judged or condemned. It’s just the uniqueness of being human. Except for the grace of God there go I.
Not showing the opening credits of this - my favorite WWII movie of them all - was a great disservice. It's the musical score - the very first measure sets the tone for the entire film. Re-watch it - you'll hear what I mean.
In the mid-1980s I drove limousines and tour buses In Dayton Ohio, which is where Wright Patterson Air Force Base is, I had the distinct pleasure of hauling many World War II, fighter groups and bomber groups. When they went for awards ceremonies, and the like to a man, they were all great fun, loving, hard-working, as one of them told me after you got fighters flying at your airplane Or another man trying to shoot you down it was nothing that life can throw at you. That was a big problem. It was all gravy after that. I’m so glad I got to drive that bus.
Brilliant film indeed. I wonder where that 'Toby Jug' is today, that we see in the beginning of the film? A most powerful yet sensitive beginning to the movie, which takes the character played by Dean Jagger (Major Stovell) to revisit his old base. I believe aspects of the opening scenes in this film of the slip-stream of the prop wash of the running B-17s on grasses in the aircrafts dispersal pens, inspired the Director Michael Caton-Jones, (inspired by William Wyler's 1944, wartime film) of the 1990 film Memhis Belle).
The bravery of these men blows my mind. I often wonder if I could have hacked it. Thanks to them I’m an old man living in the greatest country in the world!
A country run by war criminals (Arms, weapons and ammonition dealers) and about 7 parts off it's head most of the time where Ganja is legalised in most states allowing 3 ounces of the halluenogenic. I saw a USA video a few weeks back when an armed cop gets really reilled up when he stops a motorist and smells weed in the car. He repeatedly asks the man if he has smoked any today and when the man moves his hand the Policeman literally freaks out drawing his side arm and starts yelling. Seems the legalised hallucinogenics are driving the cops about as derranged as the serious users. As an outsider it is disconcerting to know your neighbours are stoned or getting stoned. But alas that is what you would likely say is great. The country may be great but the people or Nation there are not. A report from Los Angeles reported there were on average 900 criminal murders per year.
'The film was nominated for four Academy Awards and won two: Dean Jagger for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Thomas T. Moulton for Best Sound Recording.'
Think I saw somewhere that there was a Director's Cut of this movie that (presumably among other things) portrayed Gen. Savage's subsequent fate as returning to flight command only to be KIA. Perhap the point of such a plot line may have been to demonstrate the possible ultimate price of such leadership.
The loses were astronomical 100s of men were lost in one mission. 1943 we were not winning the air war.no air cover,bad tactics n Gerry was good.I knew a top turret gunner crew chief.he said one mission his squadron left with 11 -b17s and 3 came back.his name was basil Johnson 361st had big L on there tails
@ my father lived on the edge of airdrome he rembers the b24 and b17 being work on there two hardstands at the back of the house wear he lived.He also rembers being pick up by Gi and taking on to base for Christmas party’s with other children.😊👍
I was an Infantryman...I had to laugh at "three days in a row"...dude...three days? Not to make light of the burden, but no matter how hard your life is in the military, someone is living a harder experience. Weeks or months at a time living in the dirt, rain, snow, etc. Mission all night, mission all day, no breaks, no refinements, and just your shirt between you and Mr. I Hate Americans. This is why PTSD is so hard to diagnose and treat. What is traumatic for one is just a day's work for others.
@@JohnCarroll-cp4qt i think its when gregory peck gives his speech in the ops hut where he says "its better if you think you are all dead, its easier that way."
This is another classic that I will never tier of.
A must for any movie lover.
A Classic movie. Much enjoyed.
I never understood the beginning of this Movie until after I Retired from the Marine Corps and how much I missed my fellow Marines.
One of the greatest WWII movies ever made!

The engines starting up at the beginning... blowing the grasses in the rear while Harvey was remembering back in time! Just TOO COOL!

Just "Poetry"-just Perfect-!!-I could smell the gasoline/oil/rubber A -Brilliant movie !!--
One of the best WW2 films made in my opinion.
Great story line that demonstrates what is PTSD. Wonderful cast. Thanks for sharing much appreciated.

I enjoyed that leadership course immensely. Took it in 1984 and was a very rewarding experience.
I remember taking a (non-military) leadership course where this movie was used to illustrate good and bad examples of management.
Ive watched this movie for second time and just realised the attention it gives to leadership. The first 40 minutes are a masterclass in leadership. If only leaders in industry, politics and every major field could emulate this the country would be a lot better place.
Third Warrior, same. LMET class right? What squadron were you in? Me VFA-97

Millard Mitchell (Maj-Gen. Pritchard) was with Gregory Peck in the great Western, Gunfighter (1950)
Mitchell also featured in "Singing In The Rain" (1952) before lung cancer killed him the following year.

I did as well.

Wasnt filmed in England
This movie is a fantastic look at the psychological effects of war, something that only rarely gets addressed in war movies.

Lol! Those ten minutes when Peck takes over have to be the most hillarious ten minutes in any classic movie.
🤣

It is an always will be one of the classic war movies, a very early look at PTSD also
Great Mr. Peck.
An excellent upload Mr V added to my classic films watch later list.
Some scenes have been shortened, good movie.
Y beloved Daddy's second favorite movie of all time
Because my father was stationed in the Philippines during WWII and worked on the B 25's.
Burtonwood near Warrington is where it's at.

Your confused with the TV show.
While I appreciate the posting of a great movie, unfortunately there are some small but important parts edited out.
I think it's awesome Gregory Peck's grandson, Ethan Peck is Mr. Spock on "Brave New Worlds!"
Wow, a general going on a bombing mission. I wonder how many times that really happened?
Great movie!
this movie actually starts in 1949 but you've cut that information off with the titles so seems an odd start. still, excellent movie.
Peck missed out serving in ww2 due to back injury
So what better than to
Imagine it! Like john wayne did!
You cut out the opening credits.

Yes it was
