2. Mrs. Miniver is my all time favorite Greer Garson movie. Coming in 2nd would be Random Harvest...

followed by Pride & Prejudice. Thanks for the heads up.

3. You're welcome!

I see Random Harvest was part of Ronald Colman's Star of the Month turn in July. I'd like to see that movie again.

And of course I have Pride and Prejudice on both DHS and DVD and have watched it more times than I can possibly count.
