On that we can agree Whiskeyx.....

I just watched that along with ‘the Winds of war’ and it’s sequel.

Great Movies and pretty much on mark historically. Well worth the watch.

Thanks for posting it...well worth the watch in today’s political climate.

The one they made a few years ago with Albert Finney was great.

The difference is that Chamberlain was an honorable man. He was fooled by Hitler but he was not a Nazi.

Obama has not been fooled. He is the enemy.

"The events" could not have become what they were in that one little country (Germany) without the new phenomenon on electric mass media.

Now the mass media is global, instantaneous, live and in color.

Modulate your expectations accordingly.

Indeed, Finney was great as Winston. Still, it was a pleasure to hear Burton’s great voice as Churchill.

“Winston is Back....and so he bloody well is.” I loved that ending.

Can’t wait to go to the Churchill Museum in London in a few months.

Great ending and the beginning was great, too.

Have a great time at the museum. I’d love to see it.
