Classic soap opera movie of the 40s with drama, patriotism , War, romance and family relationships.

An average English couple practising their little economíes but housed in gracious splendour , as they live at a countryside house in England . Then the main Lady : Greer Garson, is attacked by a Nazi parachutist : Helmut Dantine, and the gallant hubby : Walter Pidgeon stiffen the old upper lip before sailing off to help with the Dunkirk evacuation. In her arms..he felt a quiet peace no terror could disturb! Mrs Miniver is more than a picture, it is dramatic , human and real! Another triumph for Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the producers of Mrs Miniver.
Hollywood multi-Oscarized tribute to the home front in Wartime Britain. This is a moving and jingoist drama about a good family living in an England which may be at war but where the local flower show soldiers on, there everybody is frightfully nice . It is well shot with a high sense , sweetness and great sensibility , all of them wrapped up in yards of tasteful gross . A cool but some dated film, at the time it was voted the greatest movie made . However, being some corny and with improbable scenes as Mrs Miniver disarm a German pilot and hide his gun behind the teacups . The main and support cast are uniformly good . Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon are frankly well. Being finely accompanied by an excellent plethora of secondaries , such as : Teresa Wright, Dame May Whitty, Reginald Owen, Henry Travers, Richard Ney, Henry Wilconson, Helmut Dantine, among others.
