Jess's wife Eliza, a Quaker minister, is deeply religious and steadfast in her refusal to engage in violence. Jess's daughter Mattie wants to remain a Quaker but has fallen in love with <a href="/wiki/Cavalry" title="Cavalry">cavalry</a> officer Gard Jordan, a love that is against her mother's wishes. Jess's elder son Josh is torn between his hatred of violence and a conviction that to protect his family he must join the home guard and fight the invaders. The family's youngest member is "Little" Jess, who is forever at war with his mother's pet <a href="/wiki/Goose" title="Goose">goose</a>. Enoch, a <a href="/wiki/Fugitive_slaves_in_the_United_States" title="Fugitive slaves in the United States">runaway slave</a>, is a laborer on their farm; his children are still enslaved in the South. </p><p>The story begins as a tale of Quakers trying to maintain their faith as they go to meeting on First Day (Sunday); contrasted with the Birdwells' neighbor Sam Jordan and other members of the nearby Methodist Church. The mood shifts when the meeting is interrupted by a Union officer who asks how the Quaker men can stand by when their houses will be looted and their families terrorized by approaching <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America" title="Confederate States of America">Confederate</a> troops. When confronted with the question of his being afraid to fight, Josh Birdwell responds that it might be the case. His honesty provokes the wrath of Purdy, a Quaker elder who condemns people who do not believe as he does. </p><p>Meanwhile, the Quakers try to maintain their ways, despite the temptations of amusements at a county fair, and a new organ (which Jess buys over Eliza's opposition). On a business trip, Jess acquires a new horse from the widow Hudspeth, and defeats Sam in their weekly horse race. One day, Jess is cultivating his fields and notices a cloud of smoke on the horizon produced by the burning of buildings. Josh arrives and tells them the neighboring community has been reduced to ash and corpses. Josh believes that he must fight, a conviction that threatens to destroy the family. Eliza tells him that by turning his back to their religion he is turning his back on her, but Jess sees things a different way. Josh finds himself on the front line of the battle to stop the advance of the raiders, and only fires his gun when the man next to him is wounded. Meanwhile, Jess is reluctant to fight, only picking up a rifle and riding off towards the fighting when the family horse gallops back to the farm riderless. </p><p>When Confederates arrive at the farm, with only Eliza and the younger children present, the family and the farm are saved when Eliza greets them on the porch and welcomes them to take all the food and animals they want and feeds them in their kitchen. As Jess finds Sam Jordan dying he is bushwhacked by a "Reb". He plays possum and when the Confederate soldier approaches he struggles with him and takes away his gun, but ultimately lets him go free and unhurt. He then finds Josh injured and brings him home. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Friendly_Persuasion_(1956_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gary_Cooper" title="Gary Cooper">Gary Cooper</a> as Jess Birdwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dorothy_McGuire" title="Dorothy McGuire">Dorothy McGuire</a> as Eliza Birdwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anthony_Perkins" title="Anthony Perkins">Anthony Perkins</a> as Joshua "Josh" Birdwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Marjorie_Main" title="Marjorie Main">Marjorie Main</a> as the widow Hudspeth</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Eyer" title="Richard Eyer">Richard Eyer</a> as Little Jess Birdwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Middleton" title="Robert Middleton">Robert Middleton</a> as Sam Jordan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Phyllis_Love" title="Phyllis Love">Phyllis Love</a> as Martha True "Mattie" Birdwell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Peter_Mark_Richman" title="Peter Mark Richman">Peter Mark Richman</a> as Gardner "Gard" Jordan (credited as Mark Richman)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Walter_Catlett" title="Walter Catlett">Walter Catlett</a> as Professor Quigley</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Hale" title="Richard Hale">Richard Hale</a> as Purdy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Joel_Fluellen" title="Joel Fluellen">Joel Fluellen</a> as Enoch</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Theodore_Newton_(actor)" title="Theodore Newton (actor)">Theodore Newton</a> as Major Harvey</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Smith_(actor)" title="John Smith (actor)">John Smith</a> as Caleb Cope</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Edna_Skinner" title="Edna Skinner">Edna Skinner</a> as Opal Hudspeth</li> <li>Marjorie Durant as Pearl Hudspeth</li> <li>Frances Farwell as Ruby Hudspeth</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tom_London" title="Tom London">Tom London</a> as Farmer on Front Line with Gard (uncredited)</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Dobson_(actor)" title="James Dobson (actor)">James Dobson</a> as Rebel soldier (uncredited)</li></ul> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Friendly_Persuasion_(1956_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The film was in development for eight years; producer-director <a href="/wiki/William_Wyler" title="William Wyler">William Wyler</a> brought the project to <a href="/wiki/Allied_Artists_Pictures_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Allied Artists Pictures Corporation">Allied Artists Pictures Corporation</a> (formerly known as Monogram Pictures Corporation) from <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount</a>; Allied agreed to a $1.5 million budget for what was Wyler's first film in color for a commercial studio.

Her novel covered a forty-year span of the Birdwell family history and was essentially plotless, so to make the movie effective, she arranged the sequences selected for filming around the Civil War vignette from the novel (altering it significantly for dramatic action) and compressed the whole into a single year, 1862, using the war as the central plot conflict. She created new characters (primarily the Jordans) to fill in for others that had to be deleted, and entirely wrote out Laban, the second eldest son in the novel, substituting a new character, Josh's friend Caleb Cope (<a href="/wiki/John_Smith_(actor)" title="John Smith (actor)">John Smith</a>), as a two-scene surrogate. The character Mattie was a composite of the two surviving Birdwell daughters in the novel. Wyler wanted his brother, associate producer <a href="/wiki/Robert_Wyler" title="Robert Wyler">Robert Wyler</a>, and author Jessamyn West to receive credit for rewriting the script (also including Wilson), but the <a href="/wiki/Writers_Guild_of_America" title="Writers Guild of America">WGA</a> ruled that Wilson deserved sole credit for his screenplay. </p><p>Cooper expressed initial reservations to West about his character, noting that since in his previous roles "'action seems to come natural to me,' the father should be shown joining the fight.
