Good movie
Peck is a neurotic, suicidal pilot in Burma during WWII. He’s transformed by his love for a native girl, which gives him the drive to survive the trek through the harsh burmese wilderness after his plane crashes.A good,dramatic film with serviceable performances by the cast. Especially by Brenda De Banzie as a missionary.
Beyond Rangoon
Gregory Peck reprises his role as a tormented flyer in ‘Twelve O’Clock High’ in this tortuous drama shot in incongruously sumptuous Technicolor on location in Burma which has a particular significance to me as I saw the conclusion on TV as a kid and only found out what it was when I saw it again as an adult.In support Maurice Denham has one his larger film roles, while Brenda de Banzie brings warmth and humanity to an affecting performance as a sympathetic Scottish missionary.
