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

Customer Reviews of Sergeant York (Two-Disc Special Edition)
A War Classic It's difficult to imagine any collector of war-based films not having this one on the shelf or in the DVD tray. It is the true story of Alvin York, one of America's greatest war heros and patriots. While the actual combat scenes are limited, when compared to the overall length of the film, it is a most powerful WWI story of a conscientious objector's battle with balancing his faith against his need to perform as a soldier. I cannot think of an actor from that era who would have been more effective in the role than Gary Cooper, who was at his best in this touching film
