Starring Albert Finney. Focuses Prior to WW2, Winston Churchill warns of the growing Nazi threat and faces down personal demons.
I thought it wasn't bad, any one else seen it? Thoughts?

Albert Finney is superb and the production is excellent, but it takes a few liberties with British political history.

The film is supperb! And Albert Finney is excellent. There has been no other person so alike in looks like Churchill… 
Just don't like that they never include Churchill in WWII… [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

I guess its fruitless for me to hope for HBO to make a sequel
Perhaps following Churchill's series on WW2 and title the sequel "Their Finest Hour'
