Description

Narrated by Orson Welles and Winston Churchill, this film
is the only authorized documentary of Churchill s war years.
Few men have stridden through the pages of history like
Winston Spencer Churchill. Soldier, author, painter, and
above all Parliamentarian, Churchill s remarkable public
life spanned one of the most tumultuous periods in
human history: from the jubilee of Queen Victoria to the
presidency of John F. Kennedy.
Churchill: The Finest Hours is an inspired tribute to Sir
Winston Churchill as he is best remembered, the war leader
rallying the British nation in her darkest days during the
fury of the Nazi onslaught. Using his superb mastery of the
English language, Churchill gave hope to the vanquished and
strengthened the resolve of all who shared his indomitable
fighting spirit. This celebrated overview of the great British
leader uses contemporary and archival footage to detail
Churchill s accomplishments during wartime and peace.
