Narrated By Orson Welles & Winston Churchill. Narrated by Orson Welles and Winston Churchill, this film is the only authorized documentary of Churchill’s war years. Few men have stridden through the pages of history like Winston Spencer Churchill. Soldier, author, painter, and above all Parliamentarian, Churchill’s remarkable public life spanned one of the most tumultuous periods in human history: from the jubilee of Queen Victoria to the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Churchill: The Finest Hours is an inspired tribute to Sir Winston Churchill as he is best remembered, the war leader rallying the British nation in her darkest days during the fury of the Nazi onslaught. Using his superb mastery of the English language, Churchill gave hope to the vanquished and strengthened the resolve of all who shared his indomitable fighting spirit. This celebrated overview of the great British leader uses contemporary and archival footage to detail Churchill’s accomplishments during wartime and peace.
