Blut, Schweiß und Tränen (TV Movie 2009)

Blut, Schweiß und Tränen: Directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan. With Brendan Gleeson, Clive Mantle, Adrian Scarborough, Jack Shepherd. Continuing the storyline of The Gathering Storm (2002), Churchill at War is a look at the former British prime minister’s life and career at the end of WWII.

“As you can gather from the other u0026quot;reviewersu0026quot; here, the only people who generally disliked this movie are the pretentious English snobs and those who want to be. Perhaps they forget, this is a movie. It, like all u0026quot;true stories,u0026quot; lies on a historical foundation that is covered by a great deal of assumptions. Assumptions that have to be made because so few are left alive who knew Churchill, and even fewer who have reliable memories. Only so much screenplay and dialogue can be gleamed from the pages of a history book. Otherwise youu0026#39;d end up with a documentary instead of a movie. If a documentary is more your taste, then watch one. This is a movie. And a damn good one.”
