Reviews (2)
A sensitive farewell to a political icon and world legend. There have been several Churchills on screen, but I dare say it was only John Lithgow who really played him to perfection. The painting scenes, when two completely different personalities in the form of an ageing statesman and a brooding yet sensitive painter talk to each other, are one of the highlights of the whole series.
()
The plot of the ninth episode is quite calm, but it has an excellent atmosphere and unexpected depth. I know that I have praised John Lithgow's performance as Winston Churchill several times, but I have to do it again, because in this episode, he showcased his best. The ninth episode of the series was completely stolen by him.
