It's 1945 London. It's VE day. Kay Miniver (Greer Garson) is brought to tears hearing Churchill's announcement. Her husband Clem (Walter Pidgeon), daughter Judy, and son Toby are all returning home. Clem is the narrator.
This is the follow-up to Mrs. Miniver (1942) which won six Oscars. The first half of the first movie is slow. That's the same sense I get from the second movie. There are moments of interest and comedy. It's family drama and I'm not completely invested in it. It feels meandering at times. Nevertheless, it's nice to catch up with the family, but like all happily ever after, the story after is not always that compelling.
