"The film is also interesting in that this is one of the very few historical
dramas that shows Winston Churchill as the bad guy"

History
It is distortions such as this that give drama a bad name...
There is dramatic license, which can compress timelines, combine characters,
necessarily invent dialog - but this is character assassination with subtle
and nefarious fiction as a weapon.
It is an unpleasant and especially British phenomenon to gleefully destroy
the reputations of heroes. At its root is jealousy and ignorance. It applies
to all kinds of celebrities - in politics, arts, and sport etc. It is a
warped form of the British obsession with 'fairness' and a fanatic wing of
its tradition of investigative reporting.
Churchill of course has been the big target on the coconut shy for decades.
Everything he has said, and things he didn't, are scanned by hyenas for
anything to be turned to his discredit.
But what can you expect from a Satanist? What? You didn't know he once made
a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons?

suppose it will be argued that the lies are simply necessary techniques to
achieve dramatic license.
