	Savant Review: Friendly Persuasion
		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.
		Heimat movies are German 'family films' concerned with rural, rustic values and problems that can be solved by the application of conservative solutions, mostly elderly wisdom.

	Friendly Persuasion (1956) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This fine adaptation of "Friendly Persuasion" is quite satisfying, with thoughtful drama that takes place in an interesting and believable setting, plus many good lighter moments.
		It is such a nice contrast with the type of movie that has to make its points through heavy-handed, contrived events, and it offers some worthwhile thoughts without pretending to offer easy, superficial answers.
		Besides all that, it's a thoroughly enjoyable movie because of the many lighter, amusing moments.

	Friendly Persuasion - Video/DVD Review
		The movie is a rare one in which someone makes a moral choice through prayer, which many families will find worth emphasizing.
		Josh, who was able to respond without violence to the thugs at the fair, decides that he cannot benefit from risks taken by others unless he is willing to take them, too.
		The book on which the movie is based, by Jessamyn West (a Quaker, and a cousin of Richard Nixon) is well worth reading.
