A rather glorifying and thus historically dubious portrayal of Churchill

Fantastic imagery, great performances, my only issue is with the portrayal of Churchill itself which is uneven at best. Finney and Redgrave really deserve praise, a great odd screen couple.

"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas... I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes." "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion." "I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia... a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - a few more rakishly witty quotes from Churchill

Bloody marvelous. Rich historical detail, excellent portrait of Winston Churchill, plus a great human story of a small group of men who were faced with one of the most hideous and scary crises in history and somehow rose to the occasion. Much better than I expect anything made for the small screen to ever be
