Rating: - Not what I expected....
I watched this movie directly after seeing "Mrs. Miniver" on Turner Classics, and expected something along the same lines, however I was a bit disappointed in the defeatest tone of the movie, and the fact that there was no accounting (unless I missed it somehow) of the absence of the oldest son Vin...also, Judy aged quite fast in this sequel! I was unhappy about the ending, and couldn't understand why we couldn't just have Greer and Walter dance off into the sunset...still, if/when it is available ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful Garson Performance
A superb performance by Greer Garson--touching, gentle, wistful, sad, and hopeful at the same time. Her scenes with Walter Pidgeon are some of the best acting she has ever done, simple and heartfelt without the mannerisms(arched eyebrows, flared nostrils) she employed in "Mrs. Miniver" and some of her earlier films.
This is an older Garson, at the height of her beauty as a mature woman in her mid forties. Later films began to reveal her age, but, in this film, superb photography allows her ... Read More
Rating:  - AS DEPRESSING AS POSTWAR EUROPE WOULD HAVE BEEN
I have to admit that I was not prepared for what this film was to be about: Post-WWII Britain and the harsh realities of piecing life back together after years of andrenalin-pumped chaos and drama.

In retrospect, I realize now that the best aspect of "The Miniver Story" is that MGM did not overglamourize Postwar England the way it glamourized WWII England in "Mrs. Miniver." Greer Garson ...

Rating: - The Minivers Go To Pot
After the staggering success of the original Mrs. Miniver, a simple but profoundly moving story of home life in a small English village during World War II, M.G.M. Studios reunited the cast for yet another look into the lives of this most English of English families.
Unfortunately, it seems that the entire Miniver family went completely to pot, if not to hell in a handbasket, in the interim. Given an eight-rate script which focuses on a mawkish love triangle, even the actors seem slightly ... Read More
Rating:  - better than the first one, to me
now, i've always heard mrs miniver was this and that; but i saw them both and really this one is the masterpiece. It will make you smile, it will make you cry; it's absolutely a movie you should buy without hesitating because you'll watch it again and again- i wouldn't say the same about "mrs miniver".
