It's hard to believe York could kill a squad of attacking Germans with a pistol unless it happened in real life.

It did. As I recall, there were only 6 Germans. But he did shoot the entire group that was charging him; and he did it starting with the back, so the soldiers in front thought they still had the rest supporting them.

Did you see this last night? I saw it for the first time on TCM and I have to say, it was way too long a film. Did you agree?

No.

yeah, the beginning and the ending dragged out a lot. good movie, but could have cut 20 minutes easily.

And we thought long self-indulgent movies were a modern thing.

160 Germans vs. Alvin York = mismatch (for the Germans)
