Like its predecessor, it was made by MGM and starred Greer Garson in the title role, but it was filmed on location in England. The film was directed by H.C. Potter and produced by Sidney Franklin, from a screenplay by George Froeschel and Ronald Millar based on characters created by Jan Struther. The music score was by Miklós Rózsa and Herbert Stothart, with additional music by Daniele Amfitheatrof (from "Mrs. Miniver") (uncredited) and the cinematography by Joseph Ruttenberg. Greer Garson (Kay), Walter
William Wyler and Roosevelt wanted prints rushed to theaters nationwide. The Voice of America radio network broadcast the minister's speech from the film, magazines reprinted it, and it was copied onto leaflets and dropped over German-occupied countries. Churchill sent MGM head Louis B. Mayer a telegram claiming that ""Mrs. Miniver" is propaganda worth 100 battleships." Bosley Crowther wrote in his "New York Times" review that "Mrs. Miniver" was the finest film yet made about the war, "and a most exalting tribute to the British." Between 1942 and 1945 Wyler volunteered to serve as a major in the United States Army Air Forces
