I bought copies of some older movies at a flea market. I had never seen "Sgt York", so I bought it. I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it would deal mostly with his military career, but most of it was just about his homelife and love of family and country. A bit of trivia for the movie buffs, Gary Cooper had the title role, but one of his drinking buddies in the movie was played by Ward Bond. Bond was John Wayne's real life longtime drinking buddy. He was in a lot of the Duke's movies. Burton had a large rearend and was kinda fussy about having people make fun of it. So, when he was in a movie with John Wayne, a point was made to give his butt prominence in a scene or two.
Also bought "Tribes." This was not to my tastes, but Darrin McGavin did a good job as a Sgt Hartman-wannabe. Not much, if any, foul language- too tame for THE GUNNY.
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" was very good. I may have seen pieces of it years ago, but this was the first time I had seen it in its entirety. It was great to see the Duke and Jimmy Stewart together.
