Where's Eisenhower?
I'm slightly joking here, since I get tickled at those British who complain about any American movie about the Second World War that doesn't include the British side of the war. Still, I would have loved to have seen Eisenhower's relationship with Churchill in this movie, since it was so interesting how Churchill tried to manipulate Ike so much while a mutual friendship still developed. I was also shocked at how FDR's death wasn't even mentioned in this movie, which had a bearing on FDR's behavior at the Yalta conference. Ultimately, this all goes back to my main complaint: this movie is far too short to do justice to Churchill's conduct of the Second World War. Even two hours would have been better than the 98 minutes this lasted. I even think the seemingly cursory nature of this production had a bearing on the lack of awards for it.
