"Mrs. Miniver"

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

William Wyler directed (and wrote part of) this 1942 classic, which was nominated for five Oscar acting awards (Greer Garson won as Best Actress). A favorite of Winston Chrchill because of its decided pro-England stnce in the early days of World War II, it tells the story of a rural married British couple and their children as war is declared and then comes close to their home life. The vicar's speech toward the end was used as a propiganda device at President Rooselvelt's request. A very enjoyable film on all counts. It's ironic that Garson didn't want the role but contractually had to accept it. Remade for TV in 1960 but I haven't seen that one.
