GREER GARSON & WALTER PIDGEON


Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon played in a total of eight films together, seven of them as husband and wife. Her proper British manners teamed with his dominate stature and voice was a perfect combination that MGM used over and over again. Here are the films:

Walter Pidgeon (1897-1984)
Greer Garson (1904-1996)


Blossom's In the Dust (1941)
Mrs. Miniver (1942)
Madame Curie (1943)
Mrs. Parkington (1944)
Julia Misbehaves (1948)
That Forsyte Woman (1949)*
The Miniver Story (1950)
Scandal at Scourie (1953)




They were a more realistic couple on the screen than many of the others. True to life, they depended on the other and drew off each other's strengh and encouragment. Though they didn't kiss every time they met, they were concerned with each other's dreams and hopes. What a great example to marriages today.
