Young Winston (1972)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.39:1 157m
Director: Richard Attenborough
Cast: Simon Ward, Robert Shaw, Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins (as Lloyd George)
Synopsis:
An account of the early life of Winston Churchill, encompassing being taken prisoner as war correspondent during the second Boer War and fighting the Fuzzy-Wuzzies in Abyssinia. Finally he is elected to his first seat in Parliament.
Review:
Attenborough holds his anti-establishment instincts largely in check here (except for the Latin master), and turns in a positively even-handed portrait of a national hero, neither hagiographic nor unduly critical. Production values high and a super cast, including a perfect find for Churchill, who even looks a bit like him.
