Some funny moments, etc., but this movie was too slow. Granted it was made when people had longer attention spans. But a dated movie is a dated movie.

Perhaps because of the period in which it was created, this film just doesn’t work anymore. The Quaker theme is a serious one, yet it is portrayed in a frivolous manner. Except for Gary Cooper, the characters are not believable. But the MOST inappropriate element of the film is the Pat Boone music played ad nauseum throughout. A descendant of Indiana Quakers, I was prepared to love this movie. Alas, it was not to be.

The film, ostensibly, is about the moral dilemma of conscientious objection to violence – the Quakers who will not fight for a “good cause.” Sadly, this 1950s stab at a serious subject – in the shadow of nuclear destruction – squibs the effort. Actually, it is closer to a musical comedy than a drama, as though the director knew, for whatever reason, he could not bring off the tougher assignment.

On the jacket it says “Layer transition may trigger a slight pause”. Well, it’s more than a “slight pause” it stops and hesitates for a quite a while. This is not acceptable with a brand new movie. It’s like one that has lots of scratches. I am disappointed in the quality.
