"Friendly Persuasion" is a made-for-TV remake of the classic 1956 film starring Gary Cooper. It is based on the books "The Friendly Persuasion" and "Except for Me and Thee" by Jessamyn West. It originally aired on ABC on May 18, 1975. This version is different from the 1956 version because it focuses mainly on West's sequel novel, "Except for Me and Thee". It was going to be a TV series with this being the pilot. Unfortunately, "Friendly Persuasion" did not gain as big of an audience as ABC had planned. It did, however, gain a cult following. This film is not available on VHS or LaserDisc, and there are no plans of a DVD release.
Plot
In Civil War era America, a Quaker family helps slaves who have run away, knowing that they could die.
