Friendly Persuasion@The Movie Theater Mall

Friendly Persuasion(1956) is certainly one of the William Wyler’s best films. It’s a beautiful and sensitive as well as lovely story of Indiana Quakers. The film seems to be simple but delightful. You all may agree that this is another classic Hollywood film ever seen. The film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound Recording and Best Song.

Yes… Best Song…The very beautiful song.
