I just watched this wonderful movie not knowing if it was a true story or not. As soon as it ended, I rushed to the computer and sure enough, true story except for the scene with lightning striking him to "convert" him. (Lightning was not necessary for "this" man.) Otherwise, it is all based on York's life and diary. I am VERY selective about what movies I like and this movie, well, I LOVED it and rate it the highest 5 star honor. I salute both Sergeant York and Gary Cooper, may they both rest in peace.

Great movie from the first minute to the last. Powerful, convincing and impressive acting from all. I hope this movie embarrasses the REAL District Attorney, sheriff and law enforcement. Shameful that this ever occurred. They should all have gone to jail instead of the man accused. But their trial awaits them...have no fear. Justice comes as they take their last breath on earth.
