HYDE PARK, NY -- The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents the next program in its year-long film series “Hollywood Goes to War, 1941-1945” with a screening of the Academy Award winning film MRS. MINIVER (1942) on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. This is a free public event, but registration is required. CLICK HERE to register.

Upcoming films in the “Hollywood Goes to War, 1941-1945” film series include: CRY HAVOC (1943), EDGE OF DARKNESS (1943), HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN (1944), FOUR JILLS IN A JEEP (1944) and THEY WERE EXPENDABLE (1945).

Synopsis:
Kay Miniver doesn't fly a Spitfire in dogfights over London or ply the North Sea in a battleship, but she's doing her all for wartime England. And she does it so well that Winston Churchill would say Mrs. Miniver was more vital to the nation than a fleet of destroyers.

Winner of six Academy Awards including Best Picture, this memorable spirit-lifter about an idealized England that tends to its prize-winning roses while confronting the terror of war struck a patriotic chord with audiences and became 1942's #1 box-office hit. Greer Garson gives a formidable Oscar-winning title-role performance, comforting children in a bomb shelter, capturing an enemy parachutist and delivering an inspirational portrait of stiff-upper lip British resolve. When Hitler did his worst, Mrs. Miniver did her best.
