Nothing to get upset about, but also not much to get excited about.

First-class Hawks biopic on the WWI hero.
November 12, 2006
Sergeant York brought him Hawks one and only Oscar nomination for Best Director, and it's arguably his least interesting film.
September 27, 2006
Setting a precedent by preseting the saga of a celeb sill alive, the Hawks biopic is a tale of transformation of an obscure Tennessee hillbilly into a national hero, thus showing the validity of the democratic credo that heroes are not born but made.

Sergeant York is a quadruple 'A' attraction, destined to go many places and leaving complete satisfaction in its wake.

The first half is quite good, documenting York's rural upbringing with great simplicity and charm. But the second part -- the war -- degenerates quickly and grotesquely.

The breathless pace, the good script, and the mostly fine performances made me more forgiving of the dated aspects of this film. Overall, though, it's Gary Cooper's film.

This is one of those movies where the star appears to have been born to play the role.

Even given a nest of flaws, the basic arc works beautifully: Cooper's abashed, aw-shucks demeanor is a perfect fit for the part.
May 20, 2003
The performance of Gary Cooper in the title role holds the picture together magnificently, and even the most unfavorable touches are made palatable because of him.

Moving, memorable, great Warner Bros. biography of WWI hero York, with fine Cooper performance--an Oscar winner.
