All war moveis make me think how war is stupif, but the ones about the homefront are more poignant, lik Since You Went Away. <br />Mrs. Miniver is a movie I really enjoyed, and Teresa Wright was the actress that gave me the most enduring impression, mostly because of hr character's death. And it's funny that Wyler chose Ney because he was the goofiest of the boys, considering that Ney would marry Greer soon after the movie.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :) <br />Greetings!<br />http://www.criticaretro.blogspot.com.br/2014/06/garbo-gilbert-mgm-um-triangulo-amoroso.htmlLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-15654382929120979172014-07-01T22:19:00.763-04:002014-07-01T22:19:00.763-04:00I agree with you, Silver Screenings -- about the f...I agree with you, Silver Screenings -- about the film's strength in being its focus on ordinary people.

If there was one film to be remembered for, "Mrs Miniver" isn't a bad choice.<br /><br />I like what you said about the uncertainty about the outcome of the war adds to its tension. Even we as an audience today can taste that tension.<br /><br />One thing I've always admired about this film is its focus on ordinary people and the heroic things they had to do to get through the war.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-22891551233649075322014-06-29T15:47:33.409-04:002014-06-29T15:47:33.409-04:00Thank you FlickChick.

To do so would rob it of so much of its power. And if Greer Garson had to be followed by a film all of her life, she couldn't have picked a better one.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.com
