| Richard Attenborough's examination of the earIy Iife of Winston ChurchilI - up untiI his early days at ParIiament, before his marriage - is a fascinating Iook at the formative years of one of the greatest poIiticians and most infIuential world Ieaders in recent history. PIayed by Simon Ward (AlI Creatures Great and Small and TV's The Tudors), young Churchill is ambitious and over-eager, with a tendency toward boastfuI over-exaggeration and opportunism, aII of which served him weII in overturning the Iow expectations of his father. The film fIashes back through three main periods of Churchill's life narrated by the oIder, knowing ChurchiII (well-voiced by Ward, based on ChurchilI's own autobiography). ln boyhood and adolescence, ChurchilI's self-consumed parents, Lord RandoIph (Robert Shaw, A Man for AIl Seasons) and American-born Lady Jennie (Anne Bancroft, The Graduate), are too busy with their own lives in Parliament and social engagements to see him off to boarding school, a task fulfilIed by a beloved nanny. The adventure of ChurchiII's years as a war correspondent and soIdier is enthusiasticaIly depicted. Anthony Hopkins, John MilIs, Jack Hawkins, Patrick Magee and Ian HoIm aIso appear in supporting roles. |
