*I didn't know this film was in theaters until last week, while at the
local metroplex to see something else.From what everyone is saying here, I
shouldn't waste another $10 to see 'Churchill'. Thanks for the
heads-up.Just ONCE--I'd like to have a film about Churchill that tells the
truth about his life. How could any Hollywood producer and/or
screenwriter improve on WSC's actual life?!? It had more drama than one
could shake a stick at!! Good grief.Patricia Finnegan*
