Entertainment Reviews:
What we are shown is a lived and felt reality in all its horrors. [Full Review in Spanish]

Cine-Mundial
Mrs Miniver as a whole certainly is very silly sometimes... and yet, and yet. Sometimes through its sheer unselfconscious earnestness, it packs a punch.

Guardian
A poignant story of the joys and sorrows, the humor and pathos of middle-class family life in wartime England.

Variety
The most famous and perhaps most effective propaganda film of World War II.

Chicago Reader
Under Sidney Franklin's watchful supervision and William Wyler's masterly direction the story has become the most stirring, heart-clutching picture of our times.

New York Daily News
That almost impossible feat, a great war picture that photographs the inner meaning, instead of the outward realism of World War II.

TIME Magazine
Moviegoers immediately sympathized with the story of the Minivers' struggle during the Blitz....Audiences were also entranced by Garson's flawless beauty.
Premiere
Description by OLDIES.com:
Kay Miniver doesn't fly a Spitfire in dogfights over London or ply the North Sea in a battleship, but she's doing her all for wartime England. And she does is so well that Winston Churchill would say Mrs. Miniver was more vital to the nation than a fleet of destroyers. Winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture, this memorable spirit-lifter about an idealized England that tends its prize-winning roses while confronting the terror of war struck a patriotic chord with audiences and became 1942's #1 box-office hit. Greer Garson gives a formidable Oscar-winning title-role performance comforting children in a bomb shelter, capturing an enemy parachutist and delivering an inspirational portrait of stiff-upper-lip British resolve. When Hitler did his worst, Mrs. Miniver did her best.
Product Description:
A moving drama about a middle-class English family learning to cope with war, told in a series of dramatic vignettes. The family, headed by the lovely and gracious matriarch, endures the departure of the father for the beaches at Dunkirk, the discovery of a wounded Nazi pilot, the death of the daughter-in-law in an air raid, and the entry of the son into the Royal Air Force. The scenes culminate in a morale-boosting final speech that President Franklin Roosevelt ordered printed and air-dropped over war-torn Europe. Condensed from the novel by Jan Struther. Academy Award Nominations: 12, including Best Actor--Walter Pidgeon. Academy Awards: 6, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress--Greer Garson, Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress--Teresa Wright.
