Watch Friendly Persuasion Movie Online.
Movie Title: Friendly Persuasion Friendly Persuasion is available for streaming or downloading. |
This is a lovely movie, beautifully photographed on location (no phony Hollywood sets here). The performances are stellar throughout, but Gary Cooper is outstanding as the family patriarch. Watch him acting, the subtle shifts in gait, his facial expressions and nuances make him the great star that he was. They don’t make ‘em like Cooper anymore. Anthony Perkins is also excellent as the vacillating Josh Birdwell, the Quaker boy gone off to fight in the Civil War and Dorothy McGwire is quietly effective. There is much humor throughout the movie, you’ll laugh our loud many times.
This is a great movie for everyone in the family, adults and children alike. “Wholesome” is an old-fashioned concept, this this movie lives up to that billing.
This gentle, sensitively crafted story of a loving Quaker family is the closest thing to a perfect movie I have come across.
Usually touted as an anti-war film, Friendly Persuasion deals with young Josh Birdwell’s (Anthony Perkins) crisis of conscience over whether to fight the Confederate forces that have invaded his home area. But, the film has a broader sweep as well, fitting Josh’s struggle into the broader life of the Family. Sister Mattie is in love with a Methodist, son of Papa’s friend Sam Jordan, with whom he races to Meeting and/or Church on Sundays. Little Jess, the youngest, has a mortal fude with Mama’s pet goose Samantha.
And, Mama and Papa? Different as their outlooks on life seem, they love each other very much. Without sinking to the maudlin this film, like The Sundowners, portrays two people who have been married for about twenty years and are totally, charmigly in love.
The story takes place over just a few weeks, but the brief time-span allows for a depth of realization which, by the end, leaves the viewer feeling that she/he kknows and is very fond of this family.
Perfect for snuggling with that special someone, or watchig as a family project.
