What is Sergeant York / The Red Badge of Courage about?

SERGEANT YORK, 1941, Warner Bros., 134 min, War/Action/Adventure, USA. Dir. Howard Hawks. Gary Cooper stars as Alvin C. York, a hillbilly sharpshooter and pacifist who is drafted into World War I, only to become one of the most celebrated army soldiers when he single-handedly attacks and captures a German position, using his turkey-shoot expertise. THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE, 1951, Warner Bros., 69 min, War/Action, USA. Until the last decade, this was regarded as one of director John Huston’s lower-profile pictures, but with each passing year its stature and merits grow. A profoundly moving rendition of Stephen Crane’s classic novel of the Civil War, with an exceptional Audie Murphy as Henry Fleming, the young soldier wracked by self-doubt, and the offbeat Bill Mauldin (the most famous political/war cartoonist of the era) equally good as his friend.
