This is one of my favorite Father's Day movies...as much as Gary Cooper may not have wanted to play it, his character is one of the greatest fathers on film.
Yes, I think hebasically hated playing the father of teenagers and ironically, he really was perfect for the part. I love it too and I adore the score by Dimitri Tiomkin. That heavenly theme!
It's good to know that someone from the McCarthy era, Michael Wilson, sued someone over the injustices committed. I always wondered why more people did not retain attorneys to sue individuals who made false claims against them and did not sue McCarthy and Roy Cohn themselves.
Pretty big thing to do when half the country was swept up in it. Most of them probably just wanted it to go away. McCarthy was a drunk and Cohn a latent homosexual. Cohn was Donald Trumps mentor, btw. Not a gay man that will be celebrated in the history books.
I do too, caroline. This is simply a lovely piece. And that score, just leaves you humming it for days. A beautiful, sensitive job as only Wyler could do. Thanks for watching and Best Wishes; Steve
So glad I found your channel. I, too, love the innocence portrayed, in contrast to the harsh reality of the Civil War. I love the salesman who sold Grant's character the organ (he finds out the family is Quaker, and mentions "all that thee'in' and thy'in"). This was a wonderful review that hit all the high notes about "Friendly Persuasion."
I don't tend to comment on UA-cam, but Steve, I feel compelled to say that I absolutely adore your channel. When I subscribed anywhere between a year or two ago, I didn't know anything about classic films, and now I've watched a bunch - mostly from your recommendations. Listening to you talk about the movie alongside facts about the actors and directors is always interesting, especially learning the relationships that they all had with each other off screen and how the film affected them. Thank you for making these videos - I'm yet to see a bad one from you. I look forward to the next one.
OMG! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! If you are watching the movies, I feel that I'm accomplishing what I set out to do! I'm thrilled! Thanks a million!
I LOVE these segments! Steve is terrifically entertaining, enthusiastic, witty & delightfully nutty. Although not quite the same fellow, in Canada, we had a gent named Elwy Yost who hosted Saturday Night at the Movies and another serialized movie series on TVOntario for decades. He too was renown for his unabashed enthusiasm for the movies. It is heartening to see segments like these. Keep up the great work. So much fun!
I guess we can add Gary Cooper to Christopher Plummer's corner of "actors who didn't want to play a father, but ended up in a well-loved classic movie, where everyone considered him a prime DILF."
Maureen O’Hara had the role that eventually went to Dorothy McGuire. She had been admonished against telling anyone, but she could not keep her mouth shut. Her punishment was the loss of the role.
Gary Cooper had hoped for Ingrid bergman, but she turned it down. He didn't think Dorothy was a good enough actress and he in turn, cold shouldered Dorothy throughout the shoot. Actors and their egos. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Absolutely terrific review, Steve. Two comments stand out: when you said it was like a great meal. Yes, something extraordinary and satisfying. And, yes, this is the film that made Tony Perkins a star. He showed great sensitivity as the son. I first saw this as an eight-year-old at my local cinema and have always loved it.Thanks, Steve.
I just discovered this channel. You are TERRIFIC! Friendly Persuasion has always been one of my favorite movies since I was kid (from the 1960s). I was searching for the theme song because it's so beautiful and I wanted to share it with a friend and I found this. I'm going to watch all of your posts now. You are WONDERFUL!
3:22 Wow, who was the actor in the suspenders? The cast list isn’t very helpful since I don’t see a dead-ringer for him or know how big of a role he had. Surely that guy couldn’t have been an “under 5.” Beautiful.
The beautiful, blnde actor's name is JOHN SMITH ('54)...believe it or not,.. he had a big role in "The High and The Mighty" ( see my TOQ review) , He did alot of TV especially westerns and was the star of the 60's TV wester series "Laramie". At one time he was married to actress Luana Patton ( "Home From The Hill"- '60) see my TOQ review). Thanks for watching and for reminding me of beautiful Mr Smith! He's always been a favorite "hottie" of mine. Stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Awww, thanks so much. I love this movie and one of the big reasons is that increduble score by Dimitri Tiomkin. Any film he put his talents to inevitably had a gorgeous theme that would be stuck in your head for days. This is one of those films where the on set tension belied the subject matter. Gary Cooper was feeling insecure throughout about his looks, he didn't like the character , he thought Tony Perkins was "odd" and Tony was dating his daughter, he didn't cotton to playing a father of a teenage son on screen and he didn't like Dorothy McGuire, who was radiant in it. Wyler had his hands full, but the result was lovely. Thanks for watching and have a lovely SAFE weekend. Best Wishes; Steve
David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I just saw this on TMC in June and thought it was great! Thanks for your review, very informative. I thought it was a great movie! I haven’t laughedl so much in a long time. Everyone was wonderful in their parts. It had a good balance of comedy and drama. Something for everyone! A must see. End of a era. The filmmaking was about to change in the 1960’s. Five out of five popcorn boxes for me! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 See you at the movies! 😊
Don't feel cheap, I certainly wanted to know! His name was John Smith...believe it or not...he's featured prominently in the movie "The High and the Mighty" (check out my TOQ review) and is gorgeous, though fully clothed. He was also in the TV western show "Laredo" in the early '60's. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
In spite of what Cooper thought of himself at his age (50s), having recently watched this with my Mom (in her 60s), she still found to be very handsome. I also can't help but wonder if the scene where Garry Cooper is chopping wood shirtless later in the film was the actor trying to see if he still had "it".
He was a handsome older man in this movie, but unfortunately, like many other leading men of that era, he was a smoker and had begun aging rapidly starting in his 40s. He was only 55 in this movie, but he looked much older than his actual age. I can't help but wonder how he would have looked in his 40s and 50s if he had quit smoking.
@@avocate2017 Do you think it's just the smoking? Coop had health issues, bleeding ulcers during the filming of High Noon etc. But, right, other very handsome actors aged very rapidly too starting in their 40s (Alan Ladd (cigs and, *sigh*, booze...), Tyrone Power...). On the other hand, some modern day actors sort of frighten me by seemingly NOT ageing (age of botox?!)
Wasn't that a wonderful love scene on the dirt road where she chases after him and he finally hears her? I loved it when I saw it in a theater.......and love it now when I'm 77 yrs. old. (sigh.....)
What this interesting was this was one of just two films ever made by Allied Artists to get a Best Picture nomination (The other was "Cabaret"). Allied had been called Monogram Pictures before and was considered the bottom of the barrel of studios. But AA released this film and then did a Billy Wilder film, "Love in the Afternoon," a year later. Then, they went back to Bowery Boys after that.
You won't be sorry. It has a sweet melancholy and such a luscious score by Dimitri Tiomkin. It's the pefect movie for a rainy, Sunday afternoon in the Spring. Curl up, laugh a little, cry a little and enjoy William Wyler's expertise. Best Wishes; & Thanks For Watching! Pleasse stay SAFE! Steve
I’d never heard of this film. For some reason I prefer Gary Cooper and Tony Perkins in “modern” roles as opposed to prairie type fare lol. But great review as always Steve!
The score by Dimitri Tiomkin is so beautiful. Like "The High and the Mighty" , you can't get it out of your head. Hope you are well, happy and safe, Mr Hayes! All My Best; Mr Hayes
His real name is Eric Van Orden, a descendant of Peter Stuyvesant. He was also in The High and the Mighty. Laramie lasted five years so he was a star. Henry Hathaway said he would prevent him from getting roles for a reason I do not know, in the late sixties. He was pretty zonked looking in the 70s' Theatre of Blood. He died of alcoholism n 1993; there was a lot of alcohol consumption in Laramie bar scenes.
I love this movie. I love all the thee’s thees and thous and that’s just as the widow said that’s very romantic. It actually lead me to becoming a quaker myself. That Jess Birdwell is a sweet as a maltshop milkshake, as pure as country sunshine, and if I ever meet anyone like Jess Birdwell, I’m gonna snap them up. Someone who will talk to me pretty with all that ‘thee’ and ‘thou’ talk.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ do thee remember a Star Trek episode in which the inhabitants escaped the destruction of their world by retreating into its past? That’s about how I am feeling. Thank thee for this review.
The Quaker meeting house in Fairfax Va survived the Civil war. The Quaker community sent the women and children to Md but the men stayed in Va and turned the meeting house into a hospital for the wounded using the fram produce and dairy milk to feed them. The side of the meeting house still bears the graffiti the soldiers carved into the boards. There are many ways to practice the Peace Testimony.
thanks steve and co:) i always look forward to these treats from real movie lovers.may i ask if you could do a robert mithchum film i love called the sundowners, thanks again.
Had no idea Cooper was so against the casting of the wonderful Dorothy McGuire. I wonder if he wanted Ingrid Bergman because he was still carrying a torch for her from their days making For Whom the Bell Tolls. Reportedly, Coop pursued Bergman hard during the filming of that film, confusing the actress with her character, Maria. I'm thinking if he was feeling that insecure about his age and appeal, Bergman's warmth might have gone a long way toward easing his fears.
@@williamsnyder5616 Yes. Bergman totally gushes over Cooper in For Whom the Bell Tolls, and I don't think she was just acting. So many people thought they had no chemistry in that movie, but I disagree.
Both Cooper and Bergman were handpicked by Hemingway for Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway actually wrote the Robert Jordan character with Cooper in mind. Cooper and Bergman had an affair during the filming of the movie.
And let's not forget Dimitri Tiomkin's lushly evocative music. Added so much to any movie he scored.
This is one of my favorite Father's Day movies...as much as Gary Cooper may not have wanted to play it, his character is one of the greatest fathers on film.
Yes, I think hebasically hated playing the father of teenagers and ironically, he really was perfect for the part. I love it too and I adore the score by Dimitri Tiomkin. That heavenly theme!

Roy Cohn was such an evil queen.
Dorothy McGuire was perfect for this part. Absolutely love this movie. Every one was so good.
I do too, caroline. This is simply a lovely piece. And that score, just leaves you humming it for days. A beautiful, sensitive job as only Wyler could do. Thanks for watching and Best Wishes; Steve
I'd like to mention that the wonderful actor Peter Mark Richman made his film debut in "Persuasion."
I totally remember him from Three's Company. I had no idea he started his film career in the 1950s.
So glad I found your channel. I, too, love the innocence portrayed, in contrast to the harsh reality of the Civil War. I love the salesman who sold Grant's character the organ (he finds out the family is Quaker, and mentions "all that thee'in' and thy'in"). This was a wonderful review that hit all the high notes about "Friendly Persuasion."
The actor was Walter Catlett.
Thank you so much!
I remember seeing this one as a child. Thanks for bringing it back. BTW who was the shirtless hunk?
John Smith, I believe.

Steve is Magnificent.
Tony Perkins was Very Handsome. He had the looks and talent. But, was so Creepy in Psycho.
That killed his career.
He was SO talented!
I guess we can add Gary Cooper to Christopher Plummer's corner of "actors who didn't want to play a father, but ended up in a well-loved classic movie, where everyone considered him a prime DILF."

Anthony Perkins is wonderful in this.
Yes, he was such a brilliant actor. Always reminded me of Monty Clift.
Who's the blond shirtless guy? I thought this was the reason this movie was on here.
John Smith, I believe.
one of my Dad's favourite films
Great pick- wonderful movie, and a joy to see again.

I've got to watch this since my maternal family during the Civil War were pacifistic in a different religion, the Church of Christ.
It's a beautiful film.
A true gem presented by another gem.

Much as I love Vivien Leigh, thank goodness they didn't cast her. As great an actress as she was, still Scarlet O'Hara would have been looming.
She had a different persona in streetcar named desire

I love the chemistry between McGuire and Cooper!
And oddly enough he didnt want her. Fought against casting her.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ , Quite so ; I believe Maureen O’Hara was considered .She missed out on “The King and I” too (and she could sing).
This was just on TCM last night!
Anthony Perkins was a thirst trap! It's almost unfortunate that he did such a good job playing Norman Bates, because it sort of undercut his sexiness!
"Psycho" also followed him for the remainder of his career in one way or another. Absolutely brilliant performance which should have won him an Oscar.
Cannot blame Majorie Main's daughters, Anthony Perkins was gorgeous in this! 🤩
Now I look like Marjorie Main and act like her daughters..."A MAN!!!" LOL! Oh, well....Stay SAFE and thanks fo watching! Best; Steve

Those were the days when Pat Boone could sing "Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways" without blushing.

There's an obvious comparison with SERGEANT YORK, where Gary Cooper plays a pacifist caught up in World War I.
Yes, it was definitely familiar territory. Akso, he finally had a chance to work with Wyler. Thanks for watching. Steve
Happy thanksgiving to you! So much love for you!
Thannks so much, Mike!
Its 2020 and you are so correct........Now a days the films hugely lack CHARM!! This film certainly has that..........
