Young Winston (1972)
Director: Richard Attenborough
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A frightfully Boering biopic chronicling the adventures of 2nd Lt Winston Churchill, and ending with his election to the House of Commons. It comes across rather like an episode of the Antiques Road Show on location at Blenheim. Well, here we have a very fine example of John Mills that has been handed down over the generations, in perfect nick, about £10 at auction. Simon Ward, as the British bulldog pup, fetches rather less than Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus.Author: ATu
