“The Gathering Storm” with Albert Finney was really good, too.

Churchill wasn’t Human? I did not know that.

Wasn’t he colluding with the Russians about them?

There are two problems with this scene. First, it’s rather corny. The second is that it never happened. The filmmakers do warn that some material has been fictionalized. But some may be disappointed to learn that one of the most pivotal scenes in the film was manufactured.


Gee, no kidding. They also had to insert a sage Person of Color in that scene in what was (at that time) a lily White UK.

Winston Churchill seriously fooled FDR and it was tell you the United States lasting detriment.

I found the scene where Winston takes the underground to be quite moving.

If you want to read one of the most honest and non-politically-correct interviews ever, check out Gary Oldman’s Playboy Interview (July/Aug. 2014).

In that, he almost sounds like a FReeper.

He has some conservative leanings for sure...I think his best bud, can’t think of his name offhand, is a conservative that used to fill in for Savage. His name is on the tip of my tongue.

Prior to June 22, 1941 the Soviet Union was allied with Nazi Germany.

Prior to June 22, 1941 the Soviet Union was allied with Nazi Germany. The movie is set a full year earlier.
