Attenborough's take on Churchill's book, My Early Life, which covers South African war campaign with some unconvincing battle and charge scenes, fine performances by Shaw and Bancroft of his parents and lot of speeches. The director would more fully perfect his biopic craft in Ghandi.

Good biopic on the child- and young adult-hood of Winston Churchill. Covers his school years, army years (incl the Battle of Omdurman), Boer War escapades and his initial election to Parliament. Very interesting - he was certainly driven and lived an eventful life! Also shows the influence of his father and mother. Solid direction by Richard Attenborough, directing his second movie (third was to be A Bridge Too Far, five years later). Good performances from Simon Ward and Anne Bancroft. Also features an early-career Anthony Hopkins as David Lloyd George.

Surprisingly very good. I assumed it had fallen into obscurity for a reason - not so. While it's evident to see that Attenborough is already trying to be David Lean, a parish he wouldn't enter until Gandhi a decade later, this works wonderfully. I think if you can stage a grand epic biopic and propel it in such a way that it doesn't feel overlong, you've won. I think with biopics you've either got to have a great narrative or a great character - this falls into the category of the latter. Churchill himself is fascinating, even if the film overall really feels like Churchill Begins (it ends with him lighting what is presumably his first cigar. Then he jumps off a building and flies into the night.) Good cast as well - Simon Ward really does carry the film, which is another pleasant surprise, and Anne Bancroft's work here is really top-notch.

Both a brilliant artistic achievement and a fascinating, highly enjoyable film -- a combination not always obtained.

Attenborough makes a very good job portraying the lesser known years of Churchill, in his own words, although omisions are made. It can sometimes feel long, but can be a rewarding watch.
