Synopsis: Friendly Persuasion (1956)

Synopis: Indiana, 1862. Quakers Jess and Eliza Birdwell (Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire) live on their family farm. There are only minor ruffles in their quiet life--youngest son, Little Jess, has a running battle with the pet goose, Samantha; Eliza disapproves when Jess turns their weekly buggy ride to worship into a race with neighbor Sam Jordan (Robert Middleton). But the Civil War threatens their calm. Will the Quaker men defend themselves against the invading Confederate Army? Their oldest son, Josh (Anthony Perkins), is torn between beliefs and desires. And what will Jess do when put to the test?

   This is a great movie for anyone who is interested in history. Particullary great for people interested in the civil war times and "olde" Jennings County, Indiana. This movie takes you back to the times and you actually feel as if you lived there and personlly knew the characters. "History with Humor." The touches of humor make the movie all the better. ...
