Country: GB/US
Technical: Technicolor 96m TV
Director: Richard Loncraine
Cast: Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave, Jim Broadbent, Linus Roache, Derek Jacobi, Tom Wilkinson, Lena Headey
Synopsis:
Winston finds the right cause to fight in the mid thirties when he allies himself with those arguing for re-armament, against the policy of his Party.
Review:
Smartly produced, reasonably crisp period piece which adopts Churchill's own title for the pre-war period, giving due notice of its reverential tone, and provides its star with a plum part he carries off with relish but uncharacteristic restraint.
