Friendly Persuasion Reviews:
DVD of "Friendly Persuasion" 
2009-12-29 - The item shipped promptly, arrived in plenty of time for Christmas and was packaged well so that it appeared in new condition when it arrived. Since it was a Christmas gift, I did not open the packaging that it was wrapped in, and cannot verify that it was in good working order, but it seemed to be, from the outward appearances.
best of the best 
2009-12-28 - This is one of the best movies Gary Cooper made, aside from High Noon, & Friendly Persuasion gives you laughter as well as serious moments. Being Quakers during the Civil War, there is a major moral dilemma in their lives, but there is still life going on - all of it acted with full skill and charm by everyone in the movie. A pleasure to see how good an actor Anthony Perkins can be, struggling with his need to do his part in the war, I'm almost sorry he got side tracked into horror. And of course Dorothy McGuire is always a pleasure. Rent it or buy it, if you like this genre you won't be disappointed.
A Classic
2009-10-30 - Unplug the telephone. This is a movie that must not be interruped for any reason. It will make you laugh and cry. You will wish it would never end.
Charming film
2009-10-24 - This is a lovely, gentle story with an amazing cast. Make special note of the exceptionally beautiful musical score.
Classic movie.
2009-10-14 - Long one of my favorite movies. Old-fashioned, sentimental, humerous, a comfortable movie. Interesting tie-in to the Civil War and how neighbors with differing views can co-exist. Perhaps not realistic but still a good story of another time.
