if you want a perspective on the earlier Churchill, his own account will leave the reader in no doubt of the twin demons of self doubt and depression he had to dailly wrestle to become the beaming confident newsreel Churchill the Public saw and loved
Churchill was not always on top, nor anything like it
Finney is an old school Shakespearian player who would not take on the challenge of the role without an indepth knowledge of his subject, one with far more complex a persona than any Othello or King Lear
The challenge would be to show Churchill as a man, not the media myth he became
