More than you expect

It is hard to tell the importance of this movie and skip the details. Yes, the technical stuff may not be that interesting in a review like this. After first-choice Norma Shearer rejected the title role (as she refused to play a mother), Greer Garson was cast. The meat of the story is the action and interaction of family members. Add this to plausible plot twists, and you come up with a movie that has a unique view of the sacrifices they endured during WWII. This is not some cardboard war propaganda film. I would say that the most moving sections were the outcome of the Miniver Rose, the unexpected war casualty, and, of course, as a result, the final church scene.
