This World War II film was the first of five collaborations between director Henry King and actor Gregory Peck. Name it.

Released in 1949, Twelve O'Clock High is about the U.S. Army's Eighth Air Force and their daylight bombing missions against the Nazis in the early part of America's involvement in the war. While the film led to King and Peck's fruitful partnership, Peck wasn't exactly the first pick. In fact, eleven actors, including Clark Gable, John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, and James Cagney, considered and turned down the role before Peck signed on.
