My folks are just like York's people! We go back to revolutionary war. My uncle lost his leg as pow in the Korean war! we believe if you don't work, you don't eat! We have big families, but all hard workers. We are Scots Irish from the Blue ridge! I am dead shot! All double bull's eye, dead center! I am not a gunman, but I just know how to use a firearms with respect and caution!
Any movies made on "Civil War" heroes or just about cotton pickin, straw hat, plaid shirt, suspendered jean wearning inbreeding hillbillies who can't tell the difference between a hole in the ground and their own arses? Gary Cooper was from Montana and a damn good actor. Wonder what got into him to playing Alvin York, the WWI drunkard!
@RealMusicKing Do you really know about Alvin York? What he has done fighting the Gerries.... Do you know why he became a hero, even for God's sake. And what he has done after the Great War for goods. Please, read his amazing story. Come back from judging what he was before his conversion.
@Argonnenwoud That's what books claim. Think hard! He was a drunkard hillbilly from the slums of TN. When a poor man has nothing to himself, he loves his nation. Ever wonder why rich people never join armed forces or go on battlefields and if they do, they are never on the "Front lines"? That's the "Global" defination of heroism.
@RealMusicKing What about his conversion into a christian man? Did he not stop drinking alcohol? Is that a lie? Perhaps Gary Cooper was wrong about Alvin? Or? And what about his life after the Great War???? Show me the right way.... And there were also some rich people who joined the armed forces.
@Argonnenwoud Christians don't have to stop drinking. It's allowed for Christians to drink. Not allowed to turn into alcoholics but allowed to drink. Alvin was a drunkard. If he gave up, he didn't do anyone a favor but himself. So that's not heroic at all. Middle class who think they are "Rich" join the army. "Some" rich ones do join the army who stand miles away from front lines. They let hillbillies like Alvin do the fighting. Think and think "Hard".
@RealMusicKing In regards to giving up drinking; or any addictive behavior; it's very easy to "give up" something that one isn't hooked on. To know someone trying to stay clean & sober is to see heroism at its best; no flags or medals; just the hard daily determined battle.
@Argonnenwoud What "Conversion" ? All Europeans that came across Atlantic, were Christians. So pure Bologna right there. As I posted earlier, the poor look for attention and a opportunity to make money. That's about it. He was no hero.
@RealMusicKing There were Muslims in the Americas before any English speaker got there - safer for a Muslim Spaniard to emigrate to the Americas than stay at home, given the rise of the Inquisition. Probably some Jews as well.
@JackCampin There is no evidence of any Jews or Muslims coming to the new land before the arrival of Christians. Later, Jews came along with Muslims in the early party of 19th century.
My Grandfather served with Sgt.York , my wifes people are from the same Valley where he was from in Tenn., Mr. York also published an advice column in the County newspaper, we have several news clippings from his articles. After the War he continued to be a fine Example of a True Christian Gentleman, The State Of Tennesee should be proud as all Americans of the sacrifices our Men And Women make when they Go to War.
My thanks for posting this film!
Been a personal favorite of mine for any years!
My feeling always was that Coop was too old for the part, yet the film is so endearing - who cares!
Excellent transfer, thank you!
Also, using the coding for the title sure helps keep out of the clutches of the film nazis!
Keep up the good work!

@vawlkee51 Thanks for your enthusiastic reply!
I'm happy this movie is till on the run at this channel.
Yes, I've decided to using the title a different way.
They've already taken away a beautiful movie about christmas in WW1.
But I'll still endure to placing the good films for sharing with others.
Thanks again for your comment.

@RealMusicKing Thanks for your comment.
I'm thinking and going to consider your words.
Sometimes the 'american dream' is like a 'nightmare' to me....
And the Hollywood-factory is a mass-product with lots of lies and unreal ones.

@madscotsman26 Thanks for your background information.
When it's possible could you send copies over over some of the news clippings Mr. York?
I like to reading somethings from his hand. My e-mail is: pfefferrucken@gmail.com.
Serving God and the country the way Men and Women did and are doing must never be forgotten. Herous for ever. God bless them.

A true hero of Tennessee. I wish Hollywierd would make a movie that honored God and our military. A sad sign of the times I guess.
