"The Miniver Story" is a 1950 film sequel to the successful 1942 film "Mrs Miniver". Like its predecessor it was made by MGM, and starred Greer Garson in the title role. 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 Pidgeon (Clem), Reginald Owen (Mr. Foley) and Henry Wilcoxon (Vicar) played their original roles. Also in the cast were Peter Finch (Polish officer) and James Fox in his first film appearance (Toby Miniver).
