Peck's next film was the first of two movies he would do with Alfred Hitchcock , the suspense-romance Spellbound , opposite the previous year's Academy Award for Best Actress winner, the alluring Ingrid Bergman.
Peck plays a man who is thought to be the new director of the psychiatric facility where Bergman's character works as a psychoanalyst, but he has amnesia and is having disturbing visions that suggest he may have murdered someone.
Selznick noted that during preview tests of the movie, the women in the audiences had big reactions to the appearance of Peck's name on the screen and that during the first few scenes he appeared in they had to be shushed to quiet down.
Peck and Hitchcock were described as having a cordial but cool relationship. He accepted Peck in the role, but perceived him as a bit of a country boy, even though Peck had lived in urban California since his preteen years; Hitchcock tried to socialize with him by offering him friendly advice on things, such as on what color suits to wear and about fine wines and spirits.
Just let your face drain of all expression" even though Peck was a relatively inexperienced romantic leading man hungering for direction. Spellbound was very well received by critics at the time, as was Peck's performance [i] with the New York Herald Tribune stating that it was a "masterful psychiatric thriller Bergman steals the show as his love-struck shrink," but it uses "psychoanalytic ideas that are simplistic and obsolete to the point of becoming comical.
In Peck's next film he played a pristine, [19] kind-hearted father, opposite wife Jane Wyman , whose son finds and insists on raising a three-day-old fawn in s Florida, in The Yearling Then Peck took his first "against type" role, as a cruel, amoral cowboy in the extravagant western soap opera Duel in the Sun with top-billed Jennifer Jones as the provocative, temptress object of Peck's love, anger and uncontrollable sexual desire.
Jones landed a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for Duel in the Sun and some audiences are amazed at the passion in her performance, [80] even though in TV Guide's review of the movie they describe it as "Jones' failing entry into the Jane Russell sex goddess sweepstakes.
Peck's next release was the modest-budget, serious adult drama, The Macomber Affair , concerning a couple who go on an African hunting trip with their guide played by Peck.
During the trip, the wife, played by Joan Bennett , becomes enamored with Peck, and the husband gets shot. In November , Peck's next film, the landmark Gentleman's Agreement , directed by Elia Kazan , was released and was immediately proclaimed as "Hollywood's first major attack on anti-Semitism.
Upon release, Gentleman's Agreement was widely praised for both its courageousness and its quality, [v] with Bosley Crowther saying "every point about prejudice Peck's next three releases were each commercial disappointments.
The first of these, the Paradine Case , was his second and last film collaborating with Alfred Hitchcock. When producer David O. Selznick insisted on casting Peck for the movie, Hitchcock was apprehensive, questioning whether Peck could properly portray an English lawyer, something he would say again years later.
Released at the tail end of , The Paradine Case was a British-set courtroom drama about a defense lawyer fatally in love with his client.
Peck was next cast sharing top billing with Anne Baxter in the western Yellow Sky , that being the name of the ghost town that Peck's group of bank robbers seek refuge in, and then encounter the spunky tomboy, Baxter, her grandfather, and their gold.
The director has put together an ace of a screenplay, given its dialogue rings true, and then proceeded with showmanly production guidance to make Sky a winner.
The direction is vigorous, potently emphasizing every element of suspense and action and displaying the cast to the utmost advantage. There's never a faltering scene.
Wilson wrote, he's "one of those agreeable bandits who need only a shave and the influence of a good woman to turn them into thoroughly decent citizens" [] as being slightly unbelievable, [af] or the romance as partly contrived, [] but Craig Butler of AllMovie asserts, the "beautifully detailed direction The year after, Peck was paired with Ava Gardner for their first of three movies together in The Great Sinner , an opulent period drama-romance where a Russian writer, Peck, becomes addicted to the vice gambling while helping the ravishing Gardner and her father pay back their debts.
Peck originally rejected his assignment to The Great Sinner , which was to be his last movie under his contract to M-G-M, and only eventually agreed to do it as a favor to the studio's production head.
Later in , Twelve O'Clock High , the first of many successful war films in which Peck embodied the brave, effective, yet human, fighting man, was released.
Based on real characters and events, Peck portrays the new commander of a U. World War II bomber squadron who is tasked with whipping the squadron into shape, but then breaks down emotionally because of the stress of the job.
Twelve O'Clock High received very strong reviews upon release, [ai] with Bosley Crowther describing it as a "top-flight drama" and as "tremendously vivid", and saying that it "has conspicuous dramatic integrity, genuine emotional appeal and a sense of the moods of an airbase that absorb and amuse the mind.
And it is beautifully played by a male cast, directed by Henry King, and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck for Twentieth Century-Fox. A superb first half King's control, the electric tension and the performances all hold firm to its end.
Peck does an extraordinarily able job in revealing the hardness and the softness of a general exposed to peril. Peck plays an aging "Top Gun of the West" who is now weary of killing and wishes to retire with his alluring but pragmatic wife and his seven-year-old son, both of which he has not seen for many years.
The Gunfighter , which is a psychological western, a character study with little action, [85] [] received "solid reviews" upon release, with some critics "raving over it" [] [al] and Peck's performance "bringing him some of his best notices.
And through Mr. Peck's fine performance, a fair comprehension is conveyed of the loneliness and the isolation of a man with a lurid name Henry King's direction is outstanding, holding the action tautly drawn, while Arthur Miller's high-contrast cinematography is highly suggestive.
The other western which Peck was cast in, this one against his will, was Only the Valiant , a low-budget movie, [] for which Peck disliked the script and would later label as the low point of his career.
Selznick permitted Selznick to sell his services to other studios, and Selznick sold his services to Warner Bros for this movie after he ran into financial difficulties.
Peck makes the most of a colorful role. Also released in spring in the United Kingdom fall in North America , was Peck's first movie of four in eight years portraying a commander at sea.
Based on a popular British novel, Captain Horatio Hornblower features Peck as the commander of a warship in the British fleet during naval battles against the French and Spanish in the Napoleonic Wars, a commander who also finds romance with Virginia Mayo 's character in between the swashbuckling.
I never believe in heroes who are unmitigated and unadulterated heroes, who never know the meaning of fear. Some reviews in lauded Peck's performance as Captain Horatio Hornblower, with Bob Thomas of the Associated Press saying Peck provided "the proper dash and authenticity as the remarkable nineteenth-century skipper" [] and Variety writing "Peck stands out as a skilled artist, capturing the spirit of the character and atmosphere of the period.
Whether as the ruthless captain ordering a flogging as a face-saving act for a junior officer or tenderly nursing a woman through yellow fever, he never fails to reflect the Forester character.
It is an incisive study of a man who is dispassionate, aloof and remote, yet is often capable of finer feelings The major action sequences have been lensed with great skill.
An even bigger-budget movie featuring Peck, his third directed by Henry King , was released in North America a month before Captain Horatio Hornblower.
David and Bathsheba , a lavish Biblical epic, was the top-grossing movie of He then divorces the first wife of his harem, which allows him to engage with the equally-willing Bathsheba, after which God devastates the kingdom; and only after much devastation does David seek atonement from God.
Peck's performance in David and Bathsheba was evaluated upon release by Bosley Crowther "as an authoritative performance," [] Variety said "Peck is a commanding personality There are some dull spots and David could have used some of Samson's excitement.
But David is more satisfying work and a tribute to its makers. It's ridiculous, yet in its own strange way it works The direction is big and broad But there's plenty of spectacle to fill the eyes, with gorgeous costumes, delicious cinematography and fabulous sets Susan Hayward is a delight as the luscious adulterous Peck was back in a seafaring adventure-romance in his next movie, The World in His Arms , directed by Raoul Walsh , who had also directed Captain Horatio Hornblower.
Peck portrays a seal-hunting ship captain in San Francisco who romances a Russian countess played by Ann Blyth and ends up engaging a rival sealer played by Anthony Quinn in a sailing race to Alaska.
It all ends up to exciting and colorful stuff with no strain on the thinking matter. Superb sea footage, lots of action and a robust relationship between Peck and Quinn combine to make this highly enjoyable.
About a year after David and Bathsheba was released, Peck was on theater screens with Susan Hayward again and directed by Henry King again, in another top-grossing adventure-romance movie ranking fourth for Kilimanjaro is a feast, with the camera capturing the full beauty of its often-stunning locations and also finding emotion in the "character" scenes," adding "The art direction is lovely.
Peck's next movie was his "first real foray into comedy" [9] and he was working with director William Wyler , who had not made a comedy since , [51] and co-starring with Audrey Hepburn , a year-old newcomer in her first significant film role; [] yet it turned out as a "genuinely magical romance that worked beyond all expectations" [9] and made Hepburn an overnight star.
As had been the case with several movies before, Peck's role in Roman Holiday had originally been offered to Cary Grant , who turned it down because the part appeared to be more of a supporting role to the princess.
Upon release of Roman Holiday , Bosley Crowther's review said "Peck makes a stalwart and manly escort Wyler's direction lacks the light touch or satirical imagination which might have made this a classic; but it's still modestly entertaining," adding that Peck "is less tree-like than usual and turns in one of his most charming performances.
With his acclaimed performance in The Gunfighter , Peck was offered the lead role in High Noon but turned it down because he did not want to become typecast as a Westerns actor.
This was because new US tax laws had drastically raised the tax rate on high-income earners, but the tax amount due would be reduced if you worked outside the country for extended periods.
Three prominent reviewers all lauded The Million Pound Notes's production, such as the Edwardian horse-and-buggy era settings, but each had some other reservations.
The New York Tribune lamented "it cannot make up its mind whether it wants to be a breezy satire on human vanity or a fancy period romance" and that Peck's "touch with comedy is light, but guarded, almost suspicious.
Berlin and Munich were the filming locations for Night People , which had Peck portraying a US army military police colonel investigating the kidnapping of a young American soldier.
Peck's popularity seemed to be on the wane in the U. Peck bounced back in the U. I call it personal. In one massive, dose, though, it's just too damned much.
He concedes "it's also undeniable that a good 20 minutes could and should have been chopped away.
Peck's particular brilliance lies in the quiet strength that is so much a part of him and the way in which he uses subtle changes in that quietness to signal mammoth emotions.
He's given ample opportunity to do so here and the results are enthralling We could do with a little more tempest, a little more Joshua in the role.
Peck spouts fire from his nostrils only when he has at the whale. At the time, I didn't have more in me. Assessments of Moby Dick have also been diverse.
In Bosley Crowther wrote, the movie is a "rolling and thundering color film that is herewith devotedly recommended as one of the great motion pictures of our times," "the drama is set up on strong, realistic incidents," "space does not possibly permit us to cite all the things about this film that are brilliantly done, from the strange subdued color scheme employed to the uncommon faithfulness to the details of whaling that are observed," and "it cannot be done better, more beautifully or excitingly.
The great whale always looks phony. Peck's next movie was a romantic comedy, and being allowed to choose his leading lady, chose Lauren Bacall , who was actually happy to be busy because her husband, Humprey Bogart, was gravely ill at the time.
Peck, somewhat funny. Bacall gives an especially good performance. The very funny script took the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay Peck's next movie, the western The Bravados , reunited him with now year-old director Henry King after a six-year gap.
Peck once said "King was like an older brother, even a father figure. We communicated without talking anything to death. It was direction by osmosis.
If I played to him and he liked it, then I was fairly confident I was on the right track. In The Bravados , Peck's character spends weeks pursuing four outlaws whom he believes raped and then murdered his wife.
Weiler of The New York Times wrote, the movie "is executed intelligently in fine, brooding style against eye-filling, authentic backgrounds, so its basically familiar ingredients glisten with professional polish", that "the general tautness of the yarn is accentuated by a tightly written script," and that "the producers have given their essentially grim "chase" equally colorful and arresting treatment.
Peck decided to follow some other actors into the movie-production business, organizing Melville Productions in , and later, Brentwood Productions. In , Peck and his good friend William Wyler co-produced the western epic The Big Country , although it was not under Peck's production company.
At the time of release, reviews for The Big Country ranged from moderately negative to moderately positive, in most cases based on whether the author prioritized character depth and fulsome expression of a message or construction of interesting scenes and cinematography of the landscape; opinions on Peck's performance were also disparate.
Finely crafted, though, with some marvelous camerawork Thanks to the combination of top director William Wyler and a superb cast It also features a great theme tune Peck next played a lieutenant during the Korean war in Pork Chop Hill , which was based on a factual book about a real battle.
We tried not to preach; we let it speak for itself. Most critics, both upon Pork Chop Hill's opening [bn] and in recent years, [bo] agree that it is a gritty, grim and realistic rendering of battle action.
TV Guide's modern review says it "depicts the heroic battle in such stark detail that the viewer can almost smell the acrid fumes of cordite and taste the dust blown from the dead ridge" labeling it as "an authentic and memorable cinematic experience.
He comes through as a born leader, and yet it is quite clear that he has moments of doubt and of uncertainty. Peck's second release of had him opposite Deborah Kerr in Beloved Infidel which, based on the memoirs of film columnist Sheilah Graham, portrays the romance between Graham Kerr and author F.
Scott Fitzgerald Peck during the last three years of his life, towards the end of which Fitzgerald was often drunk and became verbally and physically abusive.
What's more, the acting, while excellent and persuasive in parts, is shallow and artificial in others.
Problem is primarily with Peck who brings to Fitzgerald the kind of clean-cut looks and youthful appearance that conflict with the image of a has-been novelist.
As a result, Peck is totally at sea. The movie is little known today. Peck next starred in Hollywood's first major movie about the implications of nuclear warfare, On the Beach , which co-starred Ava Gardner in their third and final film together.
He has a romance with Gardner's character before and after doing a submarine run to San Francisco to see if there are any survivors and, finally, he and his crew decide to travel to Alaska to see if it is uncontaminated.
Upon opening, many reviews of On the Beach were very positive [br] with Newsweek assessing it as "An extraordinary movie In spite of this, however, there's an overwhelming, desperate bleakness that perfectly captures the sense of hopelessness that is central to the story The cast helps tremendously.
Peck has rarely been more stalwart Even decades after its release, Beach is a harrowing and devastating experience.
Several actors, including Cary Grant who at 50 was deemed too old , James Mason, and William Holden who asked for too much money , were considered for Peck's leading role before Peck was hired at the same price that William Holden had asked for, plus a percentage of the box office.
Lee Thompson had to balance the story and script preferences of three big-name actors, and did incorporate many of the dialogue and character development suggestions of Peck, such that Peck was so impressed he offered him the job of directing the next film he was producing, Cape Fear.
A classic underdog war tale, the film boasts strong human drama and intense emotional involvement thanks in large part to the compelling performances" and adding it contains "realistic tension".
Peck's next film, both as an owner of Melville Productions and as a star, was Cape Fear , wherein upon being released from prison after serving eight years for a sexual assault, Max Cady, played by Robert Mitchum , heads to the home city of the witness whose testimony convicted him, that being the lawyer played by Peck, where he threatens to get back at Peck through his wife and daughter, and meticulously, but fully within the law, terrorizes the family.
Bosley Crowther and Variety both gave Cape Fear solid reviews. Other reviews were mixed due to the movie's disturbing nature with Brendan Gill of The New Yorker being especially appalled arguing, "It purports to be a thriller but is really an exercise in sadism, and everyone concerned with this repellent attempt to make a great deal of money out of a clumsy plunge into sexual pathology should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.
What on earth is Gregory Peck doing in such a movie? Director J. It did not make the National Board of Review 's Top 10 list. When producer Alan J.
I felt there was something I could identify with without any stress or strain And I felt that I knew those two children. The reviews of in four prominent publications each described Peck's performance as excellent.
Variety wrote that the role was especially challenging for Peck but that he "not only succeeds, but makes it appear effortless, etching a portrayal of strength, dignity and intelligence.
This was one of the finest examples of great acting through understatement. Variety , The New York Herald Tribune , Saturday Review and the Hollywood Reporter all unreservedly described the film as excellent [cf] while Bosley Crowther [cg] and Time gave it positive reviews, but pointed out some flaws, and the Village Voice gave it a negative review.
James Power of the Hollywood Reporter labeled it "One of the finest pictures of this or any other year" adding "Produced with care by Alan J.

In fact, Robert Mitchum , his on-screen opponent in Cape Fear , told about the time Peck once accidentally punched him for real during their final fight scene in the movie.
He felt the impact for days afterward. In the s, Peck moved to television, where he starred in the mini-series The Blue and the Gray , playing Abraham Lincoln.
All three were in the original version. In the remake, Peck played Max Cady's lawyer. His last prominent film role also came in , in Other People's Money , directed by Norman Jewison and based on the stage play of that name.
Peck played a business owner trying to save his company against a hostile takeover bid by a Wall Street liquidator played by Danny DeVito.
Peck retired from active film-making at that point. Peck spent the last few years of his life touring the world doing speaking engagements in which he would show clips from his movies, reminisce, and take questions from the audience.
He did come out of retirement for a mini-series version of one of his most famous films, Moby Dick , portraying Father Mapple played by Orson Welles in the version , with Patrick Stewart as Captain Ahab , the role Peck played in the earlier film.
Peck had been offered the role of Grandpa Joe in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , but died before he could accept it.
The Irish actor David Kelly was then given the part. In , while many Hollywood figures were being blacklisted for similar activities, Peck signed a letter deploring a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation of alleged communists in the film industry.
A life-long Democrat , Peck was suggested in as a possible Democratic candidate to run against Ronald Reagan for the office of California Governor.
Although he later admitted that he had no interest in being a candidate himself for public office, Peck encouraged one of his sons, Carey Peck, to run for political office.
Carey was defeated both times by slim margins in races in and against Republican U. Representative Bob Dornan , another former actor. Peck revealed that former President Lyndon Johnson had told him that, had he sought re-election in , he intended to offer Peck the post of U.
Peck was outspoken against the Vietnam War , while remaining supportive of his son, Stephen, who fought there. In , Peck produced the film version of Daniel Berrigan 's play The Trial of the Catonsville Nine about the prosecution of a group of Vietnam protesters for civil disobedience.

Later in , Twelve O'Clock High , the first of many successful war films in which Peck embodied the brave, effective, yet human, fighting man, was released.
Based on real characters and events, Peck portrays the new commander of a U. World War II bomber squadron who is tasked with whipping the squadron into shape, but then breaks down emotionally because of the stress of the job.
Twelve O'Clock High received very strong reviews upon release, [ai] with Bosley Crowther describing it as a "top-flight drama" and as "tremendously vivid", and saying that it "has conspicuous dramatic integrity, genuine emotional appeal and a sense of the moods of an airbase that absorb and amuse the mind.

Peck plays an aging "Top Gun of the West" who is now weary of killing and wishes to retire with his alluring but pragmatic wife and his seven-year-old son, both of which he has not seen for many years.

Selznick permitted Selznick to sell his services to other studios, and Selznick sold his services to Warner Bros for this movie after he ran into financial difficulties.
Peck makes the most of a colorful role. Also released in spring in the United Kingdom fall in North America , was Peck's first movie of four in eight years portraying a commander at sea.

Peck's performance in David and Bathsheba was evaluated upon release by Bosley Crowther "as an authoritative performance," [] Variety said "Peck is a commanding personality There are some dull spots and David could have used some of Samson's excitement.

If I played to him and he liked it, then I was fairly confident I was on the right track. In The Bravados , Peck's character spends weeks pursuing four outlaws whom he believes raped and then murdered his wife.
Weiler of The New York Times wrote, the movie "is executed intelligently in fine, brooding style against eye-filling, authentic backgrounds, so its basically familiar ingredients glisten with professional polish", that "the general tautness of the yarn is accentuated by a tightly written script," and that "the producers have given their essentially grim "chase" equally colorful and arresting treatment.
Peck decided to follow some other actors into the movie-production business, organizing Melville Productions in , and later, Brentwood Productions.
In , Peck and his good friend William Wyler co-produced the western epic The Big Country , although it was not under Peck's production company. At the time of release, reviews for The Big Country ranged from moderately negative to moderately positive, in most cases based on whether the author prioritized character depth and fulsome expression of a message or construction of interesting scenes and cinematography of the landscape; opinions on Peck's performance were also disparate.
Finely crafted, though, with some marvelous camerawork Thanks to the combination of top director William Wyler and a superb cast It also features a great theme tune Peck next played a lieutenant during the Korean war in Pork Chop Hill , which was based on a factual book about a real battle.
We tried not to preach; we let it speak for itself. Most critics, both upon Pork Chop Hill's opening [bn] and in recent years, [bo] agree that it is a gritty, grim and realistic rendering of battle action.
TV Guide's modern review says it "depicts the heroic battle in such stark detail that the viewer can almost smell the acrid fumes of cordite and taste the dust blown from the dead ridge" labeling it as "an authentic and memorable cinematic experience.
He comes through as a born leader, and yet it is quite clear that he has moments of doubt and of uncertainty.
Peck's second release of had him opposite Deborah Kerr in Beloved Infidel which, based on the memoirs of film columnist Sheilah Graham, portrays the romance between Graham Kerr and author F.
Scott Fitzgerald Peck during the last three years of his life, towards the end of which Fitzgerald was often drunk and became verbally and physically abusive.
What's more, the acting, while excellent and persuasive in parts, is shallow and artificial in others. Problem is primarily with Peck who brings to Fitzgerald the kind of clean-cut looks and youthful appearance that conflict with the image of a has-been novelist.
As a result, Peck is totally at sea. The movie is little known today. Peck next starred in Hollywood's first major movie about the implications of nuclear warfare, On the Beach , which co-starred Ava Gardner in their third and final film together.
He has a romance with Gardner's character before and after doing a submarine run to San Francisco to see if there are any survivors and, finally, he and his crew decide to travel to Alaska to see if it is uncontaminated.
Upon opening, many reviews of On the Beach were very positive [br] with Newsweek assessing it as "An extraordinary movie In spite of this, however, there's an overwhelming, desperate bleakness that perfectly captures the sense of hopelessness that is central to the story The cast helps tremendously.
Peck has rarely been more stalwart Even decades after its release, Beach is a harrowing and devastating experience. Several actors, including Cary Grant who at 50 was deemed too old , James Mason, and William Holden who asked for too much money , were considered for Peck's leading role before Peck was hired at the same price that William Holden had asked for, plus a percentage of the box office.
Lee Thompson had to balance the story and script preferences of three big-name actors, and did incorporate many of the dialogue and character development suggestions of Peck, such that Peck was so impressed he offered him the job of directing the next film he was producing, Cape Fear.
A classic underdog war tale, the film boasts strong human drama and intense emotional involvement thanks in large part to the compelling performances" and adding it contains "realistic tension".
Peck's next film, both as an owner of Melville Productions and as a star, was Cape Fear , wherein upon being released from prison after serving eight years for a sexual assault, Max Cady, played by Robert Mitchum , heads to the home city of the witness whose testimony convicted him, that being the lawyer played by Peck, where he threatens to get back at Peck through his wife and daughter, and meticulously, but fully within the law, terrorizes the family.
Bosley Crowther and Variety both gave Cape Fear solid reviews. Other reviews were mixed due to the movie's disturbing nature with Brendan Gill of The New Yorker being especially appalled arguing, "It purports to be a thriller but is really an exercise in sadism, and everyone concerned with this repellent attempt to make a great deal of money out of a clumsy plunge into sexual pathology should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.
What on earth is Gregory Peck doing in such a movie? Director J. It did not make the National Board of Review 's Top 10 list. When producer Alan J.
I felt there was something I could identify with without any stress or strain And I felt that I knew those two children.
The reviews of in four prominent publications each described Peck's performance as excellent. Variety wrote that the role was especially challenging for Peck but that he "not only succeeds, but makes it appear effortless, etching a portrayal of strength, dignity and intelligence.
This was one of the finest examples of great acting through understatement. Variety , The New York Herald Tribune , Saturday Review and the Hollywood Reporter all unreservedly described the film as excellent [cf] while Bosley Crowther [cg] and Time gave it positive reviews, but pointed out some flaws, and the Village Voice gave it a negative review.
James Power of the Hollywood Reporter labeled it "One of the finest pictures of this or any other year" adding "Produced with care by Alan J.
Pakula and directed with true brilliance by Robert Mulligan, the Universal picture is a genuine experience, so penetrating and pervasive it lingers long after the last image has faded The two children are nothing short of phenomenal.
Untrained, they respond to direction like bright young animals, alert, sensitive, plastic The rest of the cast is also fine, playing with a realism that stimulates life without distorting it Mockingbird has nothing very profound to say about the South and its problems.
Sometimes, in fact, its side-porch sociology is simply fatuous A reader can always catch up on a mystifying action a page or two later, but a moviegoer wants to see what is happening while it is happening.
It never seems to occur to Miss Lee, Mr. Foote, or Mr. He was a member of the National Council on the Arts from to A physically powerful man, he was known to do a majority of his own fight scenes, rarely using body or stunt doubles.
In fact, Robert Mitchum , his on-screen opponent in Cape Fear , told about the time Peck once accidentally punched him for real during their final fight scene in the movie.
He felt the impact for days afterward. In the s, Peck moved to television, where he starred in the mini-series The Blue and the Gray , playing Abraham Lincoln.
All three were in the original version. In the remake, Peck played Max Cady's lawyer. His last prominent film role also came in , in Other People's Money , directed by Norman Jewison and based on the stage play of that name.
Peck played a business owner trying to save his company against a hostile takeover bid by a Wall Street liquidator played by Danny DeVito.
Peck retired from active film-making at that point. Peck spent the last few years of his life touring the world doing speaking engagements in which he would show clips from his movies, reminisce, and take questions from the audience.
He did come out of retirement for a mini-series version of one of his most famous films, Moby Dick , portraying Father Mapple played by Orson Welles in the version , with Patrick Stewart as Captain Ahab , the role Peck played in the earlier film.
Peck had been offered the role of Grandpa Joe in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , but died before he could accept it.
The Irish actor David Kelly was then given the part. In , while many Hollywood figures were being blacklisted for similar activities, Peck signed a letter deploring a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation of alleged communists in the film industry.
A life-long Democrat , Peck was suggested in as a possible Democratic candidate to run against Ronald Reagan for the office of California Governor.
Although he later admitted that he had no interest in being a candidate himself for public office, Peck encouraged one of his sons, Carey Peck, to run for political office.
Carey was defeated both times by slim margins in races in and against Republican U. Representative Bob Dornan , another former actor. Peck revealed that former President Lyndon Johnson had told him that, had he sought re-election in , he intended to offer Peck the post of U.
Peck was outspoken against the Vietnam War , while remaining supportive of his son, Stephen, who fought there. In , Peck produced the film version of Daniel Berrigan 's play The Trial of the Catonsville Nine about the prosecution of a group of Vietnam protesters for civil disobedience.
Despite his reservations about American general Douglas MacArthur as a man, Peck had long wanted to play him on film, and did so in MacArthur in Senate nominee Donald W.
Stewart of Anniston , who defeated the Republican candidate, James D. Martin , a former U. In , Peck undertook the voice-overs for television commercials opposing President Reagan's Supreme Court nomination of conservative judge Robert Bork.

The imagery is sometimes overblown Grant of the Hollywood Reporter wrote, it provides "an emotional experience seldom equaled.
Wilson of The Star England wrote, "the film is acted with rare perfection. Veteran director Clarence Brown shapes it into a tale that touches the heart while never patronizing the mind.
Sentiment without sentimentality. It is this: If the public "want to see" for forthcoming picture samples higher than the reactions of test audiences, you sell your picture in a hurry before the curious have a chance to get wise.
That, we suspect, is one reason why David O. Selznick's Duel in the Sun Selznick , the movie's producer, "tried to present Jones in a new sexier image" in "the quest The vastness of western locale is splendidly displayed in color The infamous finale is simultaneously ludicrous and stunning As sexy, exciting and stupid as Hollywood gets, this is a real one-off, full of many pleasures," although Jones and Peck's roles "must surely have embarrassed them in hindsight.
The climax has an absurdist magnificence that defies criticism. More evidence Coming on the heels of the Holocaust, it seems almost obscene to lavish so much attention on such a minor, upper-class aspect of anti-Semitism" [] TimeOut says "sentimental and muddled Good performances, however, particularly from Garfield and Holm.
Courtroom action tends to get weary Hitchcock has made the most of a difficult script and has got as much tension in a courtroom as most directors could get in a frontier fort.
Gregory Peck is impressively impassioned as the famous young London barrister who lets his heart, cruelly captured by his client, rule his head.
Hitchcock's penchant for suspense and unusual atmosphere development get full play. There is a deliberateness of pace, artful pauses and other carefully calculated melodramatic hinges upon which he swings the story and players.
Peck's statue as a performer of ability stands him in good stead among extremely tough competition. Steinberg of TCM, laments it has "a rather verbose narrative that never quite builds dramatically The intricate, triangular plot is finally overburdened by the courtroom setting.
William A. Wellman has directed for steel-spring tension from the beginning to the end. At this popular level they have made it tough, taut and good The high-contrast black-and-white photography is stunning Dialogue is all the more telling for being sparse, the story is carried visually.
The music is fine, beginning the action of each scene, then fading as stark realism takes hold and natural sounds are heard.
Wellman's atmospheric direction making effective use of natural sound and Joseph's MacDonald's stark cinematography make it something special.
Lamar Trotti's screenplay is one that could be usefully studied by aspiring screenwriters; it makes minimal use of dialogue, yet won an award from America's Writers Guild.
Beautifully cast and characterized. Unfortunately, this prestigious MGM production is heavy-going and overdone.
These include its length and some old war picture cliches. But the acting especially Peck and direction approach greatness.
Arminio of AllMovie says, "The story of Peck's General Savage remains one of the most fair and celebrated accounts of leadership Twelve O'Clock High is a sincere and realistic war film.
Peck has never been better. It's all a wonderful example of ensemble acting. Gregory Peck perfectly portrays the title role, a man doomed to live out his span killing to keep from being killed.
He gives it great sympathy and a type of rugged individualism that makes it real" [] and TCM's Jeremy Arnold says Variety's original review also called it "dynamic potent drama Packs a terrific dramatic wallop that has seldom been equaled in any type of picture.
Veteran director Henry King expertly strips away the glamour of the gunfighter to reveal a lonely man who regrets his past, but knows that killing is his only future.
Magnificently directed and shot, flawlessly acted by Peck and a superb cast, government by an almost Langian sense of fate, it's a film that has the true dimensions of tragedy.
Catch this one! The script never rises about the intelligence of a B western and the production design is obviously artificial, but the cast makes all the difference Peck turned in a decent performance and pulled the film out of the doldrums.
Gordon M. Douglas' direction doesn't overcome the deficiencies in the screenplay; his work is efficient and competent, but rather more is needed here Peck is in great "cards to the vest" form here, and he holds the film together with his sheer star power.
But there is enough eye-catching excitement and color to offset that. It may be conventional action, routine in pattern and obviously contrived, with less flavor [of the books] in it than of the workshops of Hollywood.
However, it should please those mateys who like the boom of the cannon and the swish of the swords. The film looks terrific and moves with strong winds in the sails.
Peck gets the necessary support from a fine ensemble crew of character actors The often lush cinematography.. Guy Green's camerawork and Robert Farnon's jolly score are helpful.
