In reply to Babika:
I saw it a few nights ago and, as I said elsewhere, I came out wondering how Chamberlain, Halifax and others in favour of appeasement would have reacted had they had their way. What would have been in their minds as the horrors of nazism took hold right across Europe and beyond.
Whatever people now say about Churchill - all politicians have their faults - it must have taken a special sort of courage to stand up to, not least to those in his own party, the appeasement lobby as Churchill did and to do so when the likelihood of military defeat seemed so overwhelming.
The acting was brilliant and I do hope Oldman gets an Oscar. Good performances from others including Ronald Pickup and David Schofield.
I do agree, however, that the London Underground scene was too far fetched. Otherwise a film not to be missed
