Twelve O’clock High.

In 1949, former U.S. Army Air Forces officer Harvey Stovall (Dean Jagger) spots a familiar Toby Jug in the window of a London antique shop and learns that it came from Archbury, where he served with the 918th Bomb Group during World War II. After a particularly disastrous mission, group commander Colonel Keith Davenport (Gary Merrill) appears exhausted and demoralized. Savage takes a harsh approach to restoring the group's discipline and morale.
