Today I am not even going to try to be a good housewife. Today I am hibernating in front of a cosy film (Mrs Miniver ), with scraggy hair, toys everywhere and laundry coming out my ears. Even saints are sinners sometimes (brocantehome.typepad.com....y_recipes/)
After suffering through a discouraging first year in Hollywood, Garson returned to England to film the small role of Mrs. Chips in MGM's Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939). Her portrayal of the beloved schoolteacher's charming wife endeared her to the American public and set her career in motion. It was the first in a series of roles in which Garson would play women of great loyalty, refinement, and wifely or motherly strength. Garson's other significant films of the period include Pride and Prejudice (1940), Blossoms in the Dust (1941, the first time she was teamed with her frequent costar Walter Pidgeon ), Random Harvest (1942), and Madame Curie (1943), but the film that cemented her reputation and image was Mrs. Miniver (1942). Filmed during World War II and tailor-made for the times, Mrs. Miniver extolled the strength and spirit of the British home front and was one of the year's biggest hits. Garson's grace-under-pressure portrayal of a courageous wife and mother, the personification of British fortitude, not only won her an Academy Award but was credited with bolstering American support for the wa (www.britannica.com....le-9106391)

Garson tried to refuse the role of Kay Miniver just as Norma Shearer , the widow of powerful producer Irving Thalberg and the actress who had her pick of MGM's prestige pictures , had done because she did not want to play the mother of a grown son. Mrs. Miniver (AA) became one of the studio's biggest hits, while Shearer's two films that year flopped. Shearer retired, and Garson took her place as the queen of the lot. One of the most popular and admired stars of the 1940s, Garson was also nominated for best-actress Oscars in 1939, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1945, and 1960, but she is best remembered for her winning performance as the brave British housewife who remains poised and charming even while ducking bombs or capturing a Nazi in her kitchen. As for the worrisome adult son, played by Richard Ney, he and Garson fell in love during filming and were married after the picture was released. (www.britannica.com....le-9397497)
Director William Wyler 's final film before he joined the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II was Mrs. Miniver (1942), the definitive patriotic home front story. His first film upon his return from the war was The Best Years of Our Lives, the definitive postwar homecoming story. Both films had a special resonance for contemporary audiences and swept their respective Academy Award competitions. In addition to winning seven of the eight Oscars for which it was nominated,* Best Years garnered a special award for supporting actor and real-life veteran and amputee Harold Russell, and producer Goldwyn was given the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for consistent excellence in film production. Goldwyn, on the advice of his wife Frances , had commissioned author MacKinlay Kantor to write the original story about soldiers returning from World War II and their readjustment to civilian life. The film also was named best picture by the New York Film Critics Circle and by numerous foreign countries (www.britannica.com....le-9397528)
