This movie is touching, moving and at times, you may find yourself shedding a tear or two. This is a true story about a poor young man from the back hills of Tenn. who becomes an American hero. He wins our countrie's highest military honor, "The Congressional Medal of Honor". Several years ago I read about this young war hero, named Alvin York and I actually saw his name written on a wall in a room at the Pentagon in Washington DC. There were hundreds of names honoring all those Americans who have won the "Medal of Honor". Anyway, when I saw this movie on TV awhile back, I couldn't believe how well the actor Gary Cooper, portrayed Alvin York. This movie I believe is not just a war movie, but it captures the true ascents, honesty and charactor of this man, Alvin York, A True American. So when this Dvd came out I had to have it. I wish it was in Color, but even in Black & White it is still worth it.

I got this for my mother, and when we sat and watched it, it was like going back in time. Watch the commentary if you want to know all the ins and outs of the movie. It was a true story with a few embellishments. I was glad to find out what was embellished and what was not. Back in the days we first saw it, commentary was not a part of the experience. It is really great to have it.

This is the best movie produced ever. I try to watch it every year. they put it on tv once or twice a year around the 4th or Memorial Day you just have to really look for it. I no-longer have to do that I have it and I will watch this piece of history at least once a month. The story is true. The characters are played amazingly well. It even has an extra video the history of making the film. Buy it. Watch it. Love it.

This movie is awesome. I have loved this since I first saw it years ago and now I can enjoy it when I want to watch it. Gary Cooper plays his role like all his films with all his heart in his role. Would suggest this for any age viewer.

This movie is an excellent historical record as to why we fought both World Wars if a person was raised with a good solid christian background. While watching this movie pay special attention to the transformation of mass media and compare it with what we have today. Notice what news was important, and what news overlooked. Overall, this movie has a great outlook of what was important in rural america at the turn of the century, and nothing could have been more Hollywood than Pusher's death scene. Add this movie to all video libraries.

This is my all-time favorite movie. I hunted for it for a long time, and finally found it on Walmart.com. It came sooner than expected, and was in great shape. It plays in my player with no problems. I am a fan of the classic movies, and I will continue to buy movies from Walmart.com. They are cheaper than other places, and I can get hard to find movies. Thanks Walmart!!!!
