The Gathering Storm (2002)

As a look into Winston Churchill’s marriage with Clementine Churchill during the early rise of Hitler just prior to World War II, the HBO’s miniseries The Gathering Storm (2002) not only is a unique account of one of the best wartime leaders of our time, it’s a stunning portrait of 1930s world politics. While the depth of this biopic comes from Albert Finny’s authentic portrayal of Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm is not afraid to go skin deep with an eye-opening back view from this veteran actor. Churchill once said, “We are all worms, but I do believe that I am a glow worm.” Though Mr. Finny doesn’t strut his own wormy member, he does prove that Winston’s bare buns glow very bright indeed!
