While dodging bombs the minivers son courts lady beldons granddaughter. A rose is named after mrs. Miniver and entered in the competition against lady beldons rose. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 07/12/2005 Starring: Greer Garson Walter Pidgeon Run time: 134 minutes Rating: Nr Director: William Wyler Amazon.com: A movie doesn't win seven Oscars for nothing. A glowing Greer Garson (Best Actress) commands the screen as Mrs. Miniver, a middle-class British housewife whose strength holds her family together as World War II literally hits their home. Walter Pidgeon as her architect husband seems to be the prototype for future TV dads in this affecting portrait of love--familial and romantic--during war. But the relationship between Mrs. Miniver's college-age son (Richard Ney) and the upper-crust Carol (Best Supporting Actress Teresa Wright) is filled with inherent drama--as the war speeds up their young love, it also has the potential to doom it. The 1942 film, which also won for Best Picture and Best Director, is filled with colorful characters, snappy dialogue, and sensational plot twists. Although you spend much of the movie dreading that one of the Minivers will become a casualty of war, when it finally happens, it's not what you anticipated. Exactly what you'd expect from a legendary film that lives up to its billing. --Valerie J. Nelson Average Rating:
 Rating: - Wonderful Heartfelt Story5 STARS!!! TWO THUMBS WAAAAAAY UP!!! I was not disappointed at all. I watched this movie twice in one day. This movie stands the test of time and will be watched for years to come. It was heartfelt, funny (especially little Toby), sad and some scenes had you on the edge of your seat, it also taught lessons on how important it is to love your family, appreciate them, be thankful for what you have even it's not the biggest house or the fanciest cars, because you never know what may happen today or ...

If you like old movies this is a classic and the quality is very good. Rating: - 1 of the best WWII movies made!Greer Garson is EXCELLENT in this WWII movie made in England. The trials of having a husband & son serving in the war, while at home having to venture to the bomb shelter with her 2 youngest children. The fears of the children are voiced while the fears of the parents are visible on their faces. This movie touches on faith, seeing the enemy as a person when a hungry German soldier slips into the back door, and the fears of life in the midst of the war. Very few movies encapsulates views from several ...

This film won many Oscars including best picture and best actress. Garson is a pure gem, what a natural and gifted actress she was! She carries this film, her face says it all and who knew Walter Pidgeon was such a looker! Sad but deeply profound, I highly recommend giving this classic a viewing. Enjoy! |
