Sergeant York (1941) – Once Upon a Time at the Oscars

In a time where heroes are seen as caped crusaders and colorful costumed fighters, it's rare that a real life figure gets an opportunity to shine on the big screen. Even harder still is it to take a man known for something as devastating and tragic as war, and praise him not for his merit on the battlefield but rather for his character. Hence the reason why Sergeant York continues to be such a moving and inspiring film over 80 years after it's release. Join us as we talk the charm of Gary Cooper, the perfect scoring of Max Steiner, and the story of a true American hero in Sergeant York.
