This HBO Films drama is a love story offering an intimate look inside the marriage of Winston and Clementine Churchill (Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave) during a particularly troubled, though little-known, moment in their lives. In the years before World War II, Churchill found himself on the fringe of British politics: a lone voice in crying out in the wilderness as he warned his country and the world of a Nazi threat. Together with Clementine, he had to confront the personal demons of depression, and the specter of insolvency, before he could reemerge as a reinvigorated political leader and hero.
