The Gathering Storm (2002 TV Movie)
9/10
Excellent portrayal
9 May 2005
One of the best portrayals of Churchill ever. One only has to see the final scene to understand the man. It is late at night and Winston enters the Admiralty after being made First Lord (again) and years in the wilderness telling a deaf world of the coming evil. He introduces himself to the young Royal Marine on duty who acknowledges that he knows who he is and that a message went out to the fleet earlier that evening.

"Oh", Churchill asks "and what did it say?"

The Marine answers, "Winston is back, sir"

Churchill climbs the stairs, halts, removes his cigar and replies,

"Yes, HE BLOODY WELL IS!
