Greer Garson did a beautiful job in this movie. Always enjoyed it and am now happy to own it for frequent viewing.

3/5 A WWII propaganda blitz
  by R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
A fictionalization of the German bombing of England during
the beginning of WWII. Greer Garson is very beautiful in the title role,
but the black and white movies bundled with this make it clear
this is a war package produced with the clear intension
of supporting England against Germany.
When she captures a young German aviator
who is the same age as her son and
has his German ideals much has her son has his English ones,
she shows very little understanding or compassion.
For my book this kind of political movie in war may be necessary,
but it shouldn't be classed with other Oscar winners?
I've seem some WWII films that were pretty much out and out lies
for the war effort, much as German propaganda films were
on the other side. When you look like and act like the bad guy,
how do you tell the players without a menu?
In WWII there was no allowed protest against the war...?
The zoot suit riots were the only protests that I know of.
It is not about if the war was right or not, but
that with putting the American Japanese in camps,
in WWII it was hard to tell Nazis from Americans
by behavior? In an era when the press is pretty controlled in the USA,
it helps to be able to identify political propaganda
that is passing for fact
(Where are the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?).
Human rights don't end when war begins.

3/5 Nice movie
  by Reader
I watched this by accident at a friend's place. It is nice for beautiful scenic locales, nice acting esp by Walter Pidgeon, the little kids and the old lady who plays the royal family, very watchable once. I was left with two questions after that movie, it is named after Mrs Miniver but it is wholly not clear what she did that was so unique and outstanding, other than perhaps deal with the German pilot. Second, it is patriotism served up in true english style (Am sure if you are english or know about this beforehand that is no surprise but to me it was), So all said and done if you are English you'd probably like it a whole lot better. I am not english and i have no sentiments for a country that colonised so many other countries and routed their culture. To me it was nice for scenery and some nice acting that is all.

5/5 Mrs Miniver
  by Wylie F. Richard (Stockton, California, USA)
The film, "Mrs. Miniver", is perhaps one of the best movies concerning the English in WWII. Greer Garson is the one of the best actresses of this era. Walter Pidgeon is also a consumate actor of his time. "Mrs. Miniver" was voted the best picture of the year, and was awarded six Academy Awards by the Motion Picture Academy. These reasons should be enough to recommend this movie to anyone, but the story is a wonderful and human experience concerning the innocent lives of ordinary citizens during a war that touches all, and how the English people bore the ravages of the conflict with the fabled English "stiff upper lip". A movie heartwarming for its time, but mirrors the lives of families whose sons, husbands, dads,uncles, etc. go off to any war and must cope with these same events.
