Gary Cooper is amazing in every movie he's been in. He's is one of a kind and very few actors have ever been on the same level. Back when acting was actually a masterful piece of work.
Perhaps my reference was too obscure. When Cooper appeared on WHAT'S MY LINE, Bennett Cerf identified him by asking, "Do you say 'yup' and kick pebbles a lot?"
I stopped at the farm (state park) few years ago and one of Alvin's kin was there and got to see the family photos. I really enjoyed seeing the place and highly recommend it , just north of there is the Big South Forks Area also worth seeing.
I remembered when he died in 1964. I was only 10 years old then. A reluctant hero.
But one of his (I believe) three commands when he agreed to allow the movie to be made was that Gary Cooper play him. Sounds like Alvin was a pretty damned good casting director.
It's a must see movie, I loved the part where he asks to have some prisoners taken off his hands, the guy about DIES when he finds out how MANY he had !!!
Also his Mother ... "Mighty fine shooting for a man who been drinking".. or some line like that, you have to see it to know what I'm talking about :-)

Gary Cooper was such a fine actor that he did not have to talk he could do it with his body language .

@critchley3819 There is a reason why the real sgt York only wanted Gary Cooper to play his role. No one else could have done it the same!

I read he actually used an US Enfield rather than the famous Springfield 03.

SOme of the clasics I really enjoyed, this is one of them. No director trying to be edge, just someone telling a good story.
