I found this film to be very disappointing. It really did not tell me much about Churchill nor the era that is depicted. In fact, to understand what is going on, you need to already have a good knowledge of British history in the 1930's.
Although Finney does a very good job in impersonating Churchill, he is hard to understand and his Churchill is not a very sympathetic character. There is no way that "this" Churchill is going to become a future Prime Minister. I also objected to the fact that the film forces us to watch Finney urinating twice, once with a view of his full backside.
I did not learn much from this dramatization. Far better were the 60's TV documentary "The Valiant Years" and the 1981 PBS series "The Wilderness Years".
