Movie Review by B Movie Ben

May 28th, 2007

WWI on Memorial Day

I love this movie. It is not just about war, but about a man who struggled against impossible odds to just be a good man and make a living.

Gary Cooper won a golden statue for his portrayal of Alvin York. He made this beloved character from the hills come alive in a away that I don't believe anyone else could. I feel as if I know York personally after seeing this film.

But it wasn't just Cooper that made this film what it was. Walter Brennon, with three Oscars to his name at the time, played what is probably his best role as the simple preacher. Margaret Wycherly as Mother York was equally good as a simple woman who tried to guide her family. These were simple people and their goodness came through in this movie.

Howard Hawks (Rio Bravo, Red River) was at his directorial zenith with this film. It was a masterpiece.

Everything was just top notch: sound, cinematography, score, art direction; it was just a beautiful work of art.
