- TriviaHollywood producer Edgar Peterson asked Patrick Macnee to produce the British end of the project. At first Macnee only served as the head of the London production staff and conducted interviews with various military people who had worked with Churchill. But when Peterson was fired, Macnee suddenly found himself in charge and was tasked to hire a new director. Patrick immediately contacted his next door neighbor, John Schlesinger. Macnee left the production when he was offered to co-star in The Avengers (1961) and a pay rise from 50 pounds a week to 150 pounds.
Featured review
Excellent
I saw this twice. Once when it was first released, then a few years later when a local station reran it. A book was published, reprising the narrative scripts. This one I've not forgotten, and as I age, I get increasingly frustrated that it's never been released to DVD or even VHS. This is one of the best documentaries of the European theater of World War II. The series brings fine detail to the beginnings of the war, and how it commenced. All historical documentaries should be this good: then students would be motivated to pay attention to the unfolding of events.
If it ever appears for home viewing, I'd be first in line to order a copy.
