12 O’Clock High Movie report
editHi. An error is about the chin gun added to the B17s. It was not because the fighters came in at 12 high, but because they come from front on below the plane of the flying B 17. This is common knowledge, but there is so much to know it’s not a criticism for me to ask you all correct that part of WP’s report on the movie.

- This article, Gregory Peck, doesn't mention chin turrets. Perhaps you should describe what you think should be changed at Talk:Twelve O'Clock High. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 04:32, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Non-Biography and Reviews (contd.), and also post-1962 shortfall
editSomeone wrote a couple of years ago that the article was too bloated by non-biographical extra text, and someone else added soon after that there were too many reiterations of press reviews. Both suggested the text needed trimming down, but recognised that it would take quite a bit of work to achieve it. I totally agree for the reasons they've already laid out, but it also needs doing because there's masses of text about his films 1944-1962 but almost nothing about his films 1963-1991. After reaching his peak (1962's 'Mockingbird') his later films received mixed reviews and far less acclaim, but the article almost entirely ignores them all - Virtually no mention of his 22 further films including most notably-absent Captain Newman, M.D. (1963), Mackenna's Gold (1969), The Omen (1976), MacArthur (1977). The article leaves one with the impression that after 1962's 'Mockingbird' he only made The Boys From Brazil (1977) and the Cape Fear remake (1991). So yes please, reduce the inflated 1944-62 text so that there'll be room for an honorable (instead of dismissive) mention of his later film work. Pete Hobbs (talk) 18:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Entertainment
edit"Entertainment is all right, but entertainment with an idea behind it is much more important" (Source: Gregory Peck). In today’s society, many people claim that technology (streaming services and video games) offers the best entertainment options. However, others claim that being close to nature is the best choice for entertainmen 2400:ADC7:157:C200:D07A:69C5:96EE:B575 (talk) 11:40, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
