Interesting facts

The Miniver Story is a 1950 MGM-British Studios drama film starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon that is the sequel to the 1942 film Mrs. Miniver. It was directed by H.C. Potter and produced by Sidney Franklin, with its screenplay written by George Froeschel and Ronald Millar based on characters created by Jan Struther. The music score was composed by Miklós Rózsa and Herbert Stothart, with additional uncredited music by Daniele Amfitheatrof, and the cinematographer was Joseph Ruttenberg. Garson, Pidgeon, Reginald Owen and Henry Wilcoxon return in their original roles from Mrs. Miniver.

Production

Cinematographer Joseph Ruttenberg was almost dismissed from the project because of British film-union regulations, but he was kept after Greer Garson threatened to quit the production.

Composer Miklós Rózsa was responsible for the musical scoring, using Herbert Stothart's thematic material from the original film. Stothart, M-G-M's leading composer for decades, had died in 1949. Muir Mathieson conducted in England.

No mention is made of the eldest Miniver son, Vincent, who was portrayed by Richard Ney in the earlier film. Garson and Ney had been married and divorced during the time between the two films.
