Movie Reviews of Friendly Persuasion
Movie Review: ducks the issue, whistles in the wind
Summary: 2 Stars
The film, ostensibly, is about the moral dilemma of conscientious objection to violence - the Quakers who will not fight for a "good cause." Sadly, this 1950s stab at a serious subject - in the shadow of nuclear destruction - squibs the effort. Actually, it is closer to a musical comedy than a drama, as though the director knew, for whatever reason, he could not bring off the tougher assignment.
