Description

Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon reprise their legendary roles as Mr. and Mrs. Miniver in this lovingly crafted sequel to their Academy Award-winning hit "Mrs. Miniver." World War II has finally ended and England slowly limps back to normal as men come home from the front and families start to reconstruct their lives. But normalcy is not easily achieved. Mrs. Miniver must say goodbye to an American captain she befriended during the darkest hours of England's battle, her husband has visions of a new life with the family in Brazil and their daughter Judy has fallen in love with a married officer. This heartwarming story of one family's determination to survive the war and rebuild their shattered lives is a dramatic masterpiece of sensitive performances and poignant storytelling.

  • Not true to the original characters

    By Mine, hands off!
    This depiction of what the Minivers might have been at the close of WWII is just wrong! It has Judy who was maybe 8 at the beginning of the war (1939) now an adult who has been stationed as a WAC in North Africa having an affair with her married commanding officer, Toby actually stayed true to age, but had been shipped off to America during the war. There is no mention of their oldest son Vin (I understand the actor not coming back after an ugly divorce from Greer Garson, but the character wasn't even mentioned!)) Kay Miniver has had Officers boarding in her home while Clem Miniver was gone, and fell in love with one. She didn't act on it, but come on! So not true to character!! I won't spoil the ending, but it left me disappointed with what happens to our wonderful Mrs. Miniver! The writing aside, as usual, Greer garson and Walter Pidgeon are still wonderful!
