Winner of six Academy Awards, this is a very special addition to this year’s thread of World War II classics. This movie offers a unique perspective of England in the first days of the war. Greer Garson plays the title character, the matriarch of an upper middle-class British family. At first, life for the Minivers is an ideal existence, but in September of 1939, everything changes. The family is transformed by coping with blackouts, air raids, and one of their own being sent to war. Garson actually had to be persuaded to do this movie. At 34, she was resistant to portraying the mother of a grown son. She didn’t seem to mind after she accepted the Oscar for Best Actress of the year. — Jack Fields
