	Savant Review: Friendly Persuasion
		Friendly Persuasion is an immensely entertaining and thoughtful movie that finds an ideological middle ground, a rarity in any decade.
		The "friendly persuasion" of the title refers to the Quaker tenet of meeting hostility with optimistic reason, but in the romantic context it clearly points to Jess and Eliza's night in the barn, where the forbidden Organ issue is resolved in a bed of hay.
		Friendly Persuasion may be the most persuasive case for virtuous, optimistic living ever put on film, a slice of 50s Americana that offers a glimpse of possible glory behind the whitewashed, conformist propaganda machine that 'family entertainment' has become.
