Mrs. Miniver (1942)
Directed by William
Wyler this film based on the novel of the same name stars Geer
Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright and Reginald Owen. Family life
in a village outside London is disrupted by the start of the Second
World War.
Despite being set in
England this film is very much an American made film that was
co-opted as a propaganda piece as the US entered the war. The plot is
a fairly standard slice of home front drama from a middle class point
of view that does not really show the true hardships faced by some.
At times it does show that the film was made in the US but not
egregiously so.
3/5
