MCT:June 30, 2008I felt cheated when I saw this film because I had always heard what a great war film it was. The war is only a few minutes of it's running time. What this is is a great biography of a man of faith. Howard Hawks strength as a director was not to have a particular style that he applied to each film, but make the best kind of film of whatever type he worked on. So here a director famous equally for comedies and action films has made a solid dramatic biography. Gary Cooper's one-note acting style works well for him here (although he would become a much better actor in his later films). The film does have a messege, but in the end I felt that I got to know Alvin York the man, not the hero. Maybe that's why he seems like a real hero. Not for the guts and the glory, but for doing the right thing at the right time when no one else seems to be able to. The best scene in the movie? The one where a couple of army officers, after finding out that he is a concienceous objector, try to use bible quotes to prove to him that he is wrong. He then points out to them what the quotes really mean by the context of the stories they come from. That scene made the whole film for me. I reccommend it to anyone, and as I pointed out before, you don't even have to like war movies.
