Join us to watch and chat about a feature movie based on a book. This month’s film, “Mrs. Miniver,” is based on the book by Jan Struther; reading the book is not a requirement. Free popcorn will be served.
Best Picture Winner is a portrait of how an upper-class British family (headed by Best Actress Greer Garson) living in “one quiet corner of England” deals with the trials and tribulations of World War II. The movie powerfully shows what life was like on the home front during the war and how a mother succeeded at not letting violence overtake her family.
Warner Bros., 1942, 134 minutes, Rated G
Starring Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, Richard Ney, and May Whitty.
