Young Winston (1972, U.K.)

Young Winston examines the early years of one of the most influential world leaders in history. The young Churchill became overly ambitious because of his father’s low expectations.  His parents had little time for him as they were consumed with their own political and social lives.  In fact, it was his nanny who saw him off to boarding school.  As a young man Churchill was a war correspondent and soldier, and those events are well captured in this film.  This entertaining biopic is a fascinating look at the childhood and moments that created Churchill, the statesman.
