Richard Harrison

Based on Napoleon, I'm really looking forward to Ridley Scott's upcoming film about Churchill. It departs from the usual narrative featuring much footage about him making love with his wife, and focusing extensively on his liking for Brandy and cigars. Boring figures such as Anthony Eden, Charles de Gaulle, Stalin, Rossevelt, Atlee and Chamberlain are glossed over or not mentioned at all, and there is a nice little (but totally made up) scene of him shooting at some Zulu artifacts with his elephant gun. Boring irrelevancies such as proposing the European Court of Human Rights are likewise omitted. Title role played by Russel Crowe, with Cameron Diaz co - starring as Clementine Churchill. Oh, at the end, there is a subtext stating 'Churchill did and said some racist things'. Can't wait...
