The Gathering Storm (2002 TV Movie)
6/10
Good acting but unnecessarily inaccurate
20 July 2023
Enjoyed movie but it is not true that Wigram was not allowed to pass facts to Churchill. He had access and had the authority to share the information with members of Parliament, as did others with similar access. With such a rich and exciting history at this time, why fake this plot point for drama? Silly and misleading.

With that said, enjoyed portrayals by Finny, Redgrave, Wilkinson and Broadbent in particular. Good Brendan Brackin and Ava Wigram as well.

Enjoyed scenes in which dinner guest describes first meeting Hitler and those of regular folk gathered around radios learning war was declared.

"Inches," Churchill's butler or valet, was perfectly rendered by that actor. Don't know about accuracy but enjoyable the same.

Jean Cole.
