In like vein, there is the hard-to-find recent film "Churchill: The Hollywood Years" (or similar name), starring Christian Slater as Lt. Winston Churchill, U.S.N., a veritable Rambo who, with his sidekick, saves England from Hitler who has landed in England and is about to force himself on the Royal Family in a shotgun-like (but not for the usual reasons) wedding. I found it hilarious. The premise was that Hollywood producers felt that the real Churchill (British, old, bald and portly) was unsalable to the American movie-going public, so in true Hollywood fashion they had to take liberties with the script, assigning the real Churchill another role.

Colleagues, The following was submitted to me as an essay on a final exam taken this week: "Winston Churchill is most well known for being the British Prime Minister during World War II. He saw the threat that Adolph Hitler presented to the world, unlike that fool Neville Chamberlain, who thought, 'Now that Hitler seems like a right fine ol' chap.' Winston Churchill was also responsible for coining the 'iron curtain' phrase regarding communism. What most people don't know about Churchill is that he was a personal friend of the Doctor, or at least he knew the Doctor well enough to know his phone number and be able to call him in the TARDIS. Churchill summoned the Doctor during World War II when the Daleks had infiltrated the underground war cabinet masquerading as weapons designed to defeat Hitler by a British scientist who turned out to be an android created by the Daleks and given fake human memories. Churchill later helped River Song get the painting Vincent Van Gogh made of the TARDIS exploding to the Doctor to warn him of the Pandora opening." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
