And you might want to take a look at the archetypal coward-->hero story, The Red Badge of Courage. John Houston made the movie back in the 50's, but he wasn't too happy with it when the studio cut it way back to 70 minutes and added VO narration to make up for the lacunae in the plot caused by their cuts. It's a flawed film, but anything by Houston is worth watching, imho.
