★ 7.1 · 294 ratings on TMDB
"Mrs. Miniver" is more than a picture... It's dramatic. It's tender. It's human. It's real.
Middle-class housewife Kay Miniver deals with petty problems. She and her husband Clem watch her Oxford-educated son Vin court Carol Beldon, the charming granddaughter of the local nobility as represented by Lady Beldon. Then the war comes and Vin joins the RAF.
DirectorWilliam Wyler
