I rented this movie because TCM was showing the sequel, "the Miniver story". This movie sets the stage and is a good classic. The strength displayed by the Minivers in the bomb shelter in front of their home during a bombing episode and the whole bit about the rose displayed at the flower event was very touching. I believe I enjoyed "The Miniver Story " which occurs after the war even more than this movie. However, it did seem odd to me that the son didn't have a part in the sequel and wasn't acknowledged until I read the comment below about the actress and actor's marriage after the first movie; I guess that was unacceptable to Hollywood or more likely they worried it would turn off audiences; and I suspect it would have. .
