Churchill Page #3

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

make the same mistake.

- Naturally.

- I will not let my mouth forbid!

Of course, you are the Prime Minister.

And that is precisely why it is not,

that you are trying to disturb us.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do!

The invasion of France

is a deadly venture

and must be stopped!

No, sir, you must be stopped!

Listen, we're all tired.

You told me that, Winston.

They no longer bounce out of bed

early in the morning,

before noon you hardly get up.

Maybe you should use your energy

focus on the policy,

the morality of the nation and so on.

What? I'm supposed to give the clown

and entertain the masses while you

send young men to death?

Winston, we'll take care of it.

I have instructed the armed forces,

alternative plans.

You should be here tomorrow, and then ...

There will be no plans

from the armed forces.

You have revoked my orders?

A-and ...

You both think so?

You must let us do the job.

Well, if you excuse me,

I must go back to London now.

- I'll accompany them.

- No rather not.

I have documents,

I have to look through the car.

Winston.

Thank you for listening to us.

They are a great one

Profit for this country,

for the war of the Allies.

We all know that.

Absolute.

It's all right.

Very well, sir.

Left, right, left, right, ...

Just look!

Left, right, left, right ...

... that is the Foreign Minister,

that is the answer.

The invitation already mentioned.

That would be all. Yes, thank you.

Oh, Winston.

I go to the meeting

the Russian foundation.

Margaret then invites her to dinner.

Ike talked to you, did not you?

I have this land and this

War more than two years,

before these Americans

at all.

However,

my knowledge in the warfare

nothing to be worth.

Ike certainly has great

Experience in warfare.

Maybe you should listen to him.

Are all now

against everything I say?

The king took me to

Prime Minister of this country.

It is my duty,

to lead them through this war!

Do not keep yourself alone,

of decisions.

Is it now about the war ...

or around us both?

- Do you want to be cuddled, Winston?

- I would be somewhat respectful.

Then do not complain,

if someone tells you the truth.

Its getting late.

Bastards.

3 DAYS BEFORE D-DAY

where is everyone?

I suppose, at breakfast, sir.

I am going to the coast today.

For that I need smuts.

Miss Garrett,

take a telegram.

It starts.

At Halifax, British Embassy,

Washington DC.

We celebrate the success

of the campaign in Italy.

The Nazis were pushed back.

The Americans are now deep in the

Achilles heels of Europe.

The amphibious landings,

which they plan in Normandy,

must not be distracted.

I hope you sharpen that
