I love this movie! The quality of this DVD was good and all I expected. Excellent movie for the family. July 9, 2008

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. May 29, 2008

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. April 24, 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 ! March 23, 2008

I first watched this movie at a theatre in the late 1950's. I have always loved the movie and never dreamed it would be put on a DVD. The colors are just beautiful. What can you say about the late Gary Cooper. He is fantastic. February 22, 2008
