Winston Churchill: "... Henry VIII" I consider a magnificent production. Fully deserving of the great success it has achieved. My only criticism would be: a little less chicken bone chewing and a little more England building.

Featured review
An interesting premise
I much enjoyed the premise of this movie: that Churchill used his relationship with the great English film producer and director, Alexander Korda, to get Korda, already an English patriot, to make particularly patriotic films during World War II, especially here in the U.S. to help FDR overcome Lindbergh's isolationism and bring the U.S. into the war to help England. (Sorry about the length of that sentence.)
What I particularly liked here was the use of Lindbergh's speeches urging isolationism/neutrality. He is remembered today for his heroic flight across the Atlantic in 1927, but his anti-semitic isolationism should not be forgotten.
What I liked less was the cursory examination of the films Korda made during the war. The movie is only 60 minutes long, so there would have been plenty of time to look at his war movies in greater depth. Even if Churchill's request only applied to *That Hamilton Woman*, more time looking at it in detail would have been appreciated.
For what it's worth....
