Audience Reviews for Young Winston
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beeches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills,
we shall never surrender
WHAT A GEEZER
Come on people hurry up & make the definitive Winston Churchill film but do it in two parts so we can have the whole story

Mr. Ward's acting has first rate even if his characterization of Churchill's speech and mannerisms was not the best on film. Moreover, the use of an off scene news correspondent conducting separate one-on-one interviews with Lord Randolph Churchill, Lady Jennie Churchhill, and Winston was helpful in providing the viewer with biographical information and historical context, but came off with the appearance of an Oprah Winfrey interview.
