Title: Full justice to the character
Review: I bought this DVD because I have always admired this great man, Sir Winston Churchill. Having read several books about him and having been enamored by his famous one-liners, both inside and outside of parliament, I wanted to get a "feel" for the person. Let me tell you that this DVD did precisely that. The fact that the focus is on the decade of 1929-1939 when Churchill was believed to be politically inconsequential makes this very interesting becaue it builds up the case for the "delicious" outcome that history has already shown us. It is not easy to portray a leader such as Churchill whose persona is well-established/remembered even many years after his death. While it is possible to copy trademarks such as the rotund body shape and cigar, it is far more difficult to build the personality, charisma and forcefulness that he had within a character role. This has been done brilliantly by Robert Hardy.
