Churchill Page #2

Synopsis: June 1944. Allied Forces stand on the brink: a massive army is secretly assembled on the south coast of Britain, poised to re-take Nazi-occupied Europe. One man stands in their way: Winston Churchill. Behind the iconic figure and rousing speeches: a man who has faced political ridicule, military failure and a speech impediment. An impulsive, sometimes bullying personality - fearful, obsessive and hurting. Fearful of repeating, on his disastrous command, the mass slaughter of 1915, when hundreds of thousands of young men were cut down on the beaches of Gallipoli. Obsessed with fulfilling historical greatness: his destiny. Exhausted by years of war and plagued by depression, Churchill is a shadow of the hero who has resisted Hitler's Blitzkrieg. Should the D-Day landings fail, he is terrified he'll be remembered as an architect of carnage. Political opponents sharpen their knives. General Eisenhower and Field Marshal Montgomery are increasingly frustrated by Churchill's attempts to stop

Fanshawe, find out,

if General Alexander is already in Rome!

He must push the Nazis further back.

Miss Garrett,

I need the headquarters -

someone who is familiar with Norway.

We need our

Resources.

This is our chance.

It is time,

to win this war.

Done with the insulting my mother?

- Why do they do that?

- D ...

D-Day will be a disaster, Smuts.

If you are all these men

to a place,

on a well protected coast,

where it is teeming with Nazis only so,

then they are slaughtered.

This is not warfare,

but a slaughter. That may

they do not harm our husbands.

- Winston-

- Ah, Brookie, nice to see you again.

We must have this

Plan for Bordeaux.

- Eisenhower would like to see you.

- Good Good...

I type less

formal clothes, right?

- I tried.

- We all have it.

It always comes the point at which itself

the greatest leaders do not come forward.

Winston!

Halt!

Present the gun!

Please follow me, gentlemen.

On Ike will you hear, or, Winston?

Yes, we will listen to each other.

An exchange of opinions.

Brooke.

- Winston.

- Ike.

I'm glad you did

apparently.

I hope we can go beyond that of mine

scheduled landings in Bordeaux.

Sit down.

Your speech today was damn good,

Winston, damn good.

Some things had to be said.

- You should have told me.

They thought criticism was welcome.

So it is.

All considerations are welcome,

how to make the success

of Overlord,

reduce the losses,

the supply routes can be shortened.

But when you start,

the whole operation,

before the men,

which they have planned monthly,

before the King of England, then ...

is not necessarily ... helpful.

Not helpful?

Consider, Ike, we've been to

France fought against the Germans.

Even if you are in the

Normandy break through,

even with massive civilian

and military losses,

what will be ours

Guys in France?

Another west front? Passchendaele?

The Somme? A grave war!

Winston, we have a Luftwaffe.

We have self-propelled artillery,

Panzer divisions. Infantry

the front was pushing once.

Operation Overlord is not the

only way to win this war.

I should know it, I have

already seen many wars.

For sure.

Some of them in the last century.

- I beg your pardon?

The war you are talking about,

took place 30 years ago.

I believe they have not fully recognized,

which has changed since then.

- What's going on here, Brookie?

- Well, it's so, Winston.

We have no capacity,

to implement your other plans -

whether it be Bordeaux,

Italy or ... anything else.

I just want to win this war.

And I believe you want

to win the last war.

With the ideas and tactics of that time.

We have in the last

War our lesson learned!

I do not want that again
