Sergeant York

Pros: The story, the cast and the acting were all excellent.

Cons: None that I noticed

The Bottom Line: Sergeant York is a good film with a interesting storyline. The film is based on the diary of Sergeant York. For a film made in 1941, I was pleasantly surprised.

Review: Sgt. York [turns down a quarter of a million dollars worth of endorsements] What we done in France we had to do. And some that done it, didn't come back. And that kind of thing ain't for buying nor selling. Directed by Howard Hawks Written ...

Pros: Unbelievably true story of America's most incredible hero.

Cons: So true to life it's difficult for most people to believe completely.

The Bottom Line: A must see movie. Sergeant York is an example to American youth even today, and we need examples -- especially today.

Review: Nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winner of two, this is one of the all-time great movies to come out of Hollywood. Gary Cooper won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Alvin C. York. Oddly enough, he won in part for his ability to make what...

Pros: Good story about a true American hero

Cons: A bit heavy-handed nationalism, suited to the times.

The Bottom Line: Older war films, including this one, are so superior to contemporary shoot-'em-up bloodbaths.

Review: Truth is the first casualty of war, a point cleverly made but not belabored in the stirring story of Sgt.Alvin York. "Sergeant York" is a 1941 film with propagandistic elements meant to provoke nationalism as World War II looms over the American ...

Pros: Cooper, charm, true story

Cons: didn't get to philosophical in terms of arguments for/vs. pacifism

The Bottom Line: A charming and thoughtful film. True to life and shot in beautiful detail.

Review: Director Howard Hawks "Sergeant York" depicts the life of the greatest American hero of the First World War -- called at the time "the war to end all wars." Well, through hindsight, we now know that it was followed a scant twenty years later with a...

Pros: cast, direction, script

Cons: corny story, exaggerated heroism and humility

Review: "Sergeant York" is a very good, if sometimes unintentionally humorous, biography of Alvin York. York was one of the most famous heroes of World War I, killing 20 Germans and capturing another 130 single-handedly.

Released at a time...

Pros: Gary Cooper and the true story.

Cons: Battle scenes are not shot as good as they could have been.

Review: Based on the life of Sgt. Alvin York, who single-handedly captured over 120 German troops during combat in World War 1, Gary Cooper shines in the title role. "Sgt. York" is a pretty good movie, but there are better ones. It has romance, moral conflict ...
