Dedicated to rallying Allied nations and their moviegoers, Wyler touched hearts with his depiction of an English family persevering as WWII hits home. The adaptation of Jan Struther’s writings earned six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director (Wyler’s first); and for Greer Garson and Teresa Wright as the title character and her daughter-in-law. With Walter Pidgeon, Dame May Whitty, Helmut Dantine, and—memorably—Henry Wilcoxon.
