@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!

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.

@grabit1 OK, sorry about my missing your point, Im Aussie and did not see this, thanks for tour reply.

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?"

@grabit1 If you want to talk sense I will listen, but if you can't then try someone else.

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.

@critchley3819 so true! He is my favorite! I love the part where he's trying to understand what a subway is. It's so funny!

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 :-)
