Joe R @RT63027697 Oct 31 Awesome movie for it's time and even now. It's definitely a must watch movie, especially for every young person today. A movie about real life , based on a true story, that will lift you up and make you feel better about life....

It's all a bit too simple but he's a jolly good fellow and the good vibes carry us through quite easily. See more Chris M @RT21954632 09/15/2022 I had no expectations one way or the other. But I found myself enjoying this more than I thought I would. True that there are character issues and like a lot of movies from the time the pacing drags too much at times. Plus a couple of lines of dialog from supporting characters came out less than stellar. But once it finally gets going it is really worth the wait through the draggy talkie parts. Slow but still pretty good. See more Steve S @RT32687682 08/06/2022 At the height of World War II, America needed a good shot of patriotism. "Sergeant York" was just that movie. It became the biggest film of the year. The story of a God fearing country yoke from Tennessee who became a war hero during World War I. It's an interesting story, that is surprising true. Gary Cooper excelled at playing the simple, every man is what America needs. He is a bumpkin, but not simple-minded. He is thoughtful and holds tight to his beliefs. Directed by Howard Hawkes, the film is rich and well shot as one would expect from Hawkes. It's over-the-top propaganda becomes too much however. The score of patriots greatest hits sounds too bombastic and obvious today. It's easy to admire the filmmaking and performances, especially from Cooper. But the film doesn't date well. It's interesting to see how it spoke to it's audience and the country at the time, but it misses being a true classic that it could have been. See more Read all reviews
