This 1948 WWII classic features
Clark Gable, Walter Pidgeon, Van Johnson and Brian Donlevy.
Several of the cast members knew the material well, having served in the military themselves during the war. Major Clark Gable flew five combat missions, including one to Germany. Hitler considered Gable to be quite a prize and offered a very generous reward to anyone able to capture and deliver Gable to him.
Command Decision is considered by many to be the first important fictional work about World War II. Previous works had focused on the experience of average citizens during the war. This film focuses on the burdens of leadership, the politics, moral and mental conflicts and the losses.
