Friendly Persuasion (DVD)

Friendly Persuasion (1956) starring Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire, Anthony Perkins. Jess and Eliza Birdwell (Cooper and McGuire) are devoted Quaker parents living in southern Indiana during the Civil War. They are opposed to violence and war because of their religion, but their son Josh (Perkins) feels compelled to get into the fight. Fortunately, the Birdwells' war is very short. The movie has adequate subtitles. Grade: B+
