Customer Rating: Summary: Friendly Persuasion Comment: On the jacket it says "Layer transition may trigger a slight pause". Well, it's more than a "slight pause" it stops and hesitates for a quite a while. This is not acceptable with a brand new movie. It's like one that has lots of scratches. I am disappointed in the quality. Customer Rating: Summary: Friendly Persuasion Comment: This is one great movie! Gary Cooper at his best! Dorothy McGuire is charming and Anthony Perkins before being type-cast as a psycho is superb!
If you like James Stewart in Shenandoah then Friendly Persuasion is for you. Two great movies with similar themes. Customer Rating: Summary: A Gem Comment: This 1956 screen addaption of Jessimen West's short stories is still as watchable as it ever was. Lovely cinamatography, a great script and sterling perfomances AND you won't be embarrased to see it with either your mother or your children. A gem of a film ! Customer Rating: Summary: A Wonderful Movie Comment: I first watched this movie at a theatre in the late 1950's. I have always loved the movie and never dreamed it would be put on a DVD. The colors are just beautiful. What can you say about the late Gary Cooper. He is fantastic. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good family entertainment. Comment: I have watched this movie serveral times and never get tired of doing so. It a shame that more similar movies are not made today instead of the trash that is.
For two years the Civil War has been elsewhere. Now Confederate forces are nearby, looting and burning. It is time to fight back, Jess Birdwell's neighbors insist. Yet Birdwell, a Quaker, knows there must be a better way to settle things.
