Editorial Review:
Churchill, a three-part series, explores many of the myths that surround the Churchill legend. Episode 1, Destiny, tells the story of Churchill's early life - his aristocratic birth, his search for glory on the battlefield, his rise up the political ladder and his fall from it. Episode 2, The Lion?s Roar, traces Churchill's leadership of Britain through its finest hour during the Battle of Britain to its darkest hour in 1942. Episode 3, The Last Prize, opens with Churchill's day trip to the Normandy beaches in June 1944. It goes on to examine Churchill's second term as Prime Minister and his public and private struggles until his death in January 1965.

Rating:  - A story of a multi-faceted man
This is the most complete view of this complex man and his impact on world history I have yet seen. You get to understand him from many perspectives -- political, personal, emotional, and see his intimate relationships with his contemporaries and family members. The film is moving and a touching treatment of this man who, IMHO, saved western civilization.
Rating: - The Young Winston Churchill
Of all of the Films, which I have had the pleasure of viewing,this is one of the best. The superb acting, the attention to historical detail, the droll humor of Churchill which was present throughout his life, and Churchill's painful relationship with his father; all combine to make this a most memorable Film. A must see!
Rating: - Interesting even to a nonhistorian
I caught this on PBS, intending to tape it for someone else, and ended up watching it myself and enjoying it! I am not a history/politics person, and I still found it good. At times the Churchill actor sitting at his desk and smoking annoyed me, but there was still lots of original footage to keep it visually interesting.
