What happens
Friendly Persuasion is a made-for-TV movie. The film is based on the novels The Friendly Persuasion and Except for Me and Thee by Jessamyn West; the former novel had previously been adapted in 1956. 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. There was an idea to make a TV series, with this being the pilot; but Friendly Persuasion did not gain as large an audience as ABC had hoped. The film is not available on VHS or LaserDisc, and there are no plans for a DVD release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
