Cooper + York = Wonderful Collaboration

ByJay B. Laneon December 26, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

In watching "Sergeant York" I was reminded that the ugly reaction of the isolationists in the early 1940s forced the studio to pull it after only a week or two in theatres because it was "jingoistic and war-mongering." After Pearl Harbor, it was released again when patriotism and the rationale for taking up arms had become acceptable. Make no mistake, it is an excellent film, nominated for 11 Academy Awards!

If, like me, you buy it, please, please watch the extras on the second disc. Gary Cooper and Alvin York were BOTH isolationists: York, before WWI, and Cooper, when approached to play him in a movie, before WWII. The studio courted York long and hard, writing and rewriting the script, over and over to suit York's religious and political views. Of course, after struggling with the contradiction between those views, York had gone on to become the most acclaimed soldier in WWI, capturing 132 German soldiers!

Cooper was hesitant to play a living person and was isolationistic to the bone. He visited York, that in itself not an easy task, as York lived far off the beaten path. York and Cooper developed a friendship which endured.

York never changed his religious views, refused to capitalize on his fame, remained in his modest home all of his life and loved the hometown girl he married all those years before. His is a story worth telling and you will appreciate it (and respect HIM!).

Old, but still perfect.

ByR. Mccollumon November 13, 2016

I was raised on this movie! In the era before DVD's, DVR's and streaming Netflix, we depended on the Sunday Afternoon Movie. Whenever Sergeant York was scheduled, my father would gather us all and we would all watch together. Through the true story of Alvin York, crack shot from the Three Forks of the Wolf in Pall Mall, Tennessee, I learned about life, love, honor, duty, faith and patriotism. I still love it, and own the DVD and any book written about Alvin York. I bought this digital version on the spur of the moment when a Veteran's Day lesson plan fell through with my class (guest speaker cancelled). At first, the kids were unsure of a 70-year old black and white movie. But the inspiring story and great Gary Cooper soon changed their minds. When it was done, several said to me "For an old movie, that was pretty good!" High praise indeed from a twelve-year old. You can't go wrong with this one.

Our TV then some areas , so I got to watch and go to the shows from being very young remember the old movies and of course had my heroes and ideals.

America The Beautiful!

ByAmericanon June 19, 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This movie is a war story. What makes it so strange and surreal, is that the man whom it portrays (the most decorated war hero of WWI) was in fact, a pacifist. Digest that for a few moments, if you will.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and this is one of the strangest twists of history you'll ever read about (or see here, in Sergeant York).

Now enter Gary Cooper, hand picked by the war hero himself, to play his life in this Hollywood classic. Enter again, Walter Brennan. These actors are amongst the greatest Hollywood legends ever, and this movie shows you why that was the case.

The end of an era has arrived (the close of the 1800's, when men still rode horses, or in buckboards, and carried the six-gun in a holster, a common sight back then).

The 19th century has slipped over the horizon. It's the 1900's now (still over 100 years ago at this writing). But the old never goes away all at once.

A young drinking farmer boy, by the name of Alvin York, is out with his friends, shootin' up the town -- disrupting a church service, and raisin' hell. He (finally) gets "religion" and alas, becomes a pacifist of all things "thou shalt not kill".

WWI has now erupted overseas -- and this young farmer boy, Alvin, through a strange twist of fate, is catapulted into international celebrity, by becoming our nation's greatest war hero, and decorated with the highest honors (Congressional Medal of Honor) for valor! How did that happen? A pacifist, you say???

This true story will make you weep, it will make you laugh -- it will make you feel proud to be an American!

This film is a true classic. Gary Cooper gives an Oscar winning performance in this picture. Along side him is Walter Brennan one of the Great Character actors who Cooper worked with in several other pictures. If I am to say anything about this film I would say it has a wonderful message of what for God and Country mean.

One of my favorite war movies...

ByTrebor Anthonyon May 7, 2017

In fact played it for my wife, and now she wants to visit the homestead on a vacation. It is a wonderful story with an old school cast. If you love true stories, slightly romanticized for arts sake, this is a great choice
