This is the best movie of all time, everyone in America should watch this movie. I have purchased probably 15 or 20 cd's and give to family to watch as a missionary journey. William Wyler did a fantastic production in this movie. I really don't know how they trained the goose to play the friendly part. The horse race for fun etc. Again, the best family movie.

My Mom and Dad saw this 20 years ago - or more on TV. But for years it was no where to be found - except when you got lucky at the library ~* which was always a rare thing to find a movie when you wanted it. But, it has always been a family favorite with us. It just "Good, clean, wholesome fun". It is so hard to find a movie these days that you can completely relax with -- without the worry of bad words, adult content, and bad humor. I highly recomend this movie to anyone looking for a safe movie to watch with the children. You can't go wrong this this movie! Friendly Persuasion is set in the middle of the Civil War. It teaches good morals - the difference between right and wrong ... *** AND shows how the men had to choose between sitting out the war VS Protecting and Defending thier families when they are threatened. It is truely a heartwarming and very funny movie to share with the whole family. Don't miss out on this American Classic!Read full review
This is the lovely, heartwarming story of a Quaker family during the Civil War. The nature of their religion is gentle and kind which makes them pacifists during wartime... not an easy road. The older son (Tony Perkins, learning to brood for his role in Psycho!)is torn between his upbringing and his need to defend his home and family when the war encroaches on their quiet life. This story is so full of rich characterization and detail that you feel like you are part of the family, right down to the crazy goose in the opening scenes! I bought this movie because I had rented it from Netflix and just HAD to have a copy for my own DVD library. This is a story I will watch over and over again!
I have watched this film at least a dozen times and at the end I always think "Why can't they make films like this anymore?" This film has it all ! Action, Romance, humor and a sweet message for all. Great cast and superb acting... "right Mrs Hudsputh?"
