Mrs. Miniver (1942)
England tritt in den zweiten Weltkrieg ein und damit dauert es nicht lange, bis auch die britische Mittelstandsfamilie Miniver die ersten Veränderungen in ihrem idyllischen Heim spürt. Der Sohn geht zur Royal Air Force, während der Vater Clem(Walter Pidgeon) Unterstützungsdienste leisten muß und britische Soldaten aus Dünkirchen rettet. Währenddessen hat Mutter Kay (Greer Garson) eine Begegnung mit einem abgestürzten deutschen Flieger. Trotz all der Kriegswirren macht Sohn Vin der Enkelin von Lady Beldon, Carol (Teresa Wright) den Hof und schließlich heiraten beide trotz Standesunterschieden. Doch die deutschen Bomben zerstören langsam aber sich die Idylle, obwohl auch die größten Tragödien die Hoffnung der Minivers und ihrer Nachbarn nicht begraben kann...
