Mrs. Miniver (1942) - 4 stars

One Sentence Plot Summary: World War II, as viewed from the British homefront.

Starring: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, May Whitty

Best of: Several memorable tension-wraught scenes. Strong acting performance by Greer Garson. I enjoyed watching a movie about WWII that was filmed during WWII. Plane crash that holds up better than most special effects from the 90s.

Worst of: The ole two-twin-beds-for-the-married-couple always throws me off.

Notable: The film, released in 1941, was credited with increasing American sympathy to the war effort prior to Pearl Harbor.
