- A portrait of rise and fall!
From a mining town of Nevada, a poor girl makes her dreams come true when a multi millionaire wed her. The process of rise of his fortune will suffer along the road of certain infidelities here and there and also certain financial tricks.

She will work out as the opposite side of the balance and will lead him to secure port. But his sudden death will become of her one of the richest widows and she will have to face the inheritors whose main features are signed by the stinginess, selfishness, cowardice, with visible lack of grandness vision and undertaking spirit.

In this sense the final decision will have to do with her ancestral codes, and start all over again, if it' s necessary.

The script is admirable, the cast is superb and the handle work is glorious, watch the framing process in interiors. Greer Carson has been always one of my three favorite eternal beloved actresses ... Read More

- Classy And Spirited
This Film Wasn't As Bad AS I Thought It Would BE, Greer Garson Is Good, Walter Pidgeon Is Somewhat Boring, Edward Arnold Is Not As Good As I Thought He Would Be, Gladys Cooper Is Mediocre, Agnes Moorehead Is Great, Frances Rafferty Was So Good In This Film, And Tom Drake Had Such A Short Role Though I Love Him And His Acting. Perfect Film For Anybody Whom Is Interested With Any Of These People!

- Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon together again
"Mrs. Parkington" was MGM's most expensive film produced in 1944 and indeed at this time Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon warranted the lavish expenditure as they were the most popular couple in films after their smashing sucesses in "Blossoms In The Dust", "Madame Curie", and of course the unforgettable "Mrs Miniver". Here we see Greer Garson playing another "Mrs" however Susie Parkington is very different to the stoic Mrs Miniver of the 1942 film.

Greer Garson was at first very reluctant to take on such an ambitious period piece again so soon after her involvement in the above mentioned films. She was desperate to try a comic role where she could show off her comedy timing learnt in her years of theatre work in London. Louis B. Mayer however saw her as the refined ladylike character of period dramas or sentimental contemporary pieces like "Mrs. Miniver". Indeed his judgement was spot on here as these roles ... Read More

- You gotta give this 5 stars!
This lengthy and not overlong? You'll find this epic entertaining throughout. My favorite moment is when Walter Pidgen shows Garson that fabulous mansion telling her it belongs to a friend of his, when in reality It was a gift for her! In my opinion, the best "married" couple in the movies. Don't miss this.
