Editorial Review:

Story of World War I hero who captured German position single-handedly. Film also portrays York's earlier life in the mountains of Tennessee.

Gary Cooper plays Alvin York, the real-life country lad and sharpshooter drafted to fight during World War I but blocked from killing by his pacifist sentiments. Howard Hawks makes a rousing, heroic film out of the tale, and Cooper gives one of his best performances (for which he won an Oscar). The 1941 feature seems as much a valentine to wartime America (and a not-so-subtle piece of propaganda) as anything, with Hawks capturing splendidly shot scenes of life in York's home state of Tennessee, which in turn provide a striking contrast to the battlefield. A key scene in the film, in which York is presented with an argument in favor of killing in war, is still thought provoking. --Tom Keogh

Great Family Movie!:

This movie is enjoyable for the entire family. I had my cell group over for a movie night and young and old enjoyed it alike.

Sergeant York DVD and VHS:

I love this movie and my family including my 13 year old daugher loves it!! We even quote from the movie, what an awesome Tennessee hero!! If you are ever around Tennessee, visit his home and town in Pall Mall. We have had the priviledge of visiting. My dad even went to school with his grandson!! great history lesson.

OSP 10:

This is without a doubt one of the top five movies of all time. The acting is superb and the movie keeps you interested through out. Gary Cooper is brilliant, but the actress who plays Mother York, Margaret Wycherly, steals the show. I have seen this movie several times in my lifetime and I become deeply engrossed everytime I watch it. This is one of the best bargains ($10.99) you will ever find for a DVD. The second DVD, Sergeant York: An American Hero is also outstanding as well. This is definitely a must... more info

A Classic that should be in Every Collection.:

Excellent depiction of values,family,God and Country.
A time walk through all phases of life in an honest way.
the bonus footages and the stories told. are well worth the price if the movie was sold seperatly .. love it
