Movie Haiku:One of the greatest films ever about leadership under fire. Oscar-nominated Peck is a “good guy” who must quickly become a “hard ass” when he’s given command of the unit destined to perfect daylight precision bombing midway through WWII. Oscar-winner Jagger, a WWI vet turned lawyer, plays his right hand.
