One of the all time greats, now watching Midway.

Movie is good except there are two errors with the firearms.

Know what they are?

Don't know for sure SP, but there is a part when they are fighting in the trench's and York fires a shot then another without racking the bolt. It's in the part of the movie where he sneaks up behind a bunker and is taking out the machine gunners, before they capture all the bad guys.

Wrong rifle that he used. Shows a springfield, he used an enfield.

Great movie and my wife had not seen it. I thought she had already seen twice every black-n-white movie ever made. (That's where the remote always stops)

Probably the first war movie she ever liked.

In reality, Seargent York used a P-17 rifle instead of a M1903 and he used a 1911 instead of a Parabellum. The reason for the error in the movie is they didn't have .45 ACP blanks that would function.

Larry watched that movie (again) today. He always goes on about the wrong rifle being used. I like the movie....but they make him out to be so "hoakie" it kind of makes me wonder.

Me and the boys just watched it today. Good movie, wrong rifle or not.

I have the DVD, One of my favorites! Watch it at least once a month[:)]

ltcdoty

When Sgt.York was walking back in the trench with all those Germans , why didn't those stupid Germans jump the Dough Boys![:p]

Actually snapped the VHS (watching it so many times) so I bought the DVD

The other thing wrong with the guns in the movie .

I can not remember if he had a German Luger when he really should have had a Colt 1911 45 .

Or it was he had a Colt 45 when he should have had a Luger .

I have not seen the movie in many , many , years and my memory is faded on it .
