On the jacket it says "Layer transition may trigger a slight pause". Well, it's more than a "slight pause" it stops and hesitates for a quite a while. This is not acceptable with a brand new movie. It's like one that has lots of scratches. I am disappointed in the quality.

This is one great movie! Gary Cooper at his best! Dorothy McGuire is charming and Anthony Perkins before being type-cast as a psycho is superb!
If you like James Stewart in Shenandoah then Friendly Persuasion is for you. Two great movies with similar themes.

A Gem March 23, 2008
This 1956 screen addaption of Jessimen West's short stories is still as watchable as it ever was. Lovely cinamatography, a great script and sterling perfomances AND you won't be embarrased to see it with either your mother or your children. A gem of a film !
