CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Mar-2006) I own a VHS cassette of this movie
and am scared to death it will wear out before I can find a DVD or
another six cassettes to last the rest of my life and on to my
childrens lives. This story, it's charectors and the scenary all
combine to allow those watching to helplessly fall deep into this film
as if it comes to life around you. It's inspiration is clearly
spiritual and watching this film has inspired many who have watched it
toward a stronger walk in faith including myself. I watch this movie
once a month just to lose myself in simpler times and to recharge my
faith in a Higher Power. When I watch this movie, I don't see actors
and actresses, I see Alvin C. York and Gracie Williams and the Pastor.
The movie made Sgt. York's heroic acts in the war a highlite of the
film, yet they gave it a very limited amount of time in the overall
story. Combining this with the humility expressed in the film regarding
his role in the war, Sgt York's actual humility toward his heroism
becomes clearly believable. This movie is my all time favorite and
clearly one of the top five greatest movies ever made. Chris Behling

Review by anonymous (posted on 1-Aug-2006) This is a classic film about the
turbulent life of a young Tennessee man who has to make a major
decision in his life regarding patriotism and religion. His decision
has a major impact on his life. He chooses to fight for his country. He
becomes America's most famous hero of World War I, and influences many
young Americans at the beginning of World War II. Gary Cooper portrays
Alvin York in an excellent manner. This film has it all...in my
opinion, it rates with Casablanca and Citizen Kane. This is my all-time
favorite movie.
