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.

Mrs. Miniver
"Mrs. Miniver" is more than a picture... It's dramatic. It's tender. It's human. It's real.

A poignant story of the joys and sorrows, the humor and pathos of middle-class family life in wartime England.
Herb Golden, Variety
Fresh
The most famous and perhaps most effective propaganda film of World War II.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Classic soap opera in which good old British understatement has a field day, everybody is frightfully nice, and sentimentality is wrapped up in yards of tasteful gloss.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Fresh
Certainly it is the finest film yet made about the present war, and a most exalting tribute to the British, who have taken it gallantly.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
