Churchill bio-films began well and generally of high quality for decades. Four of the all-time classics appeared early: “Young Winston” (1972), “The Wilderness Years” “The Gathering Storm” and “Jennie” (1974), and “The Wilderness Years” (1981). A long, mixed spell ensued, though there were many honorable mentions. In 2018, Garry Oldman starred in another superb production, “Darkest Hour,” proving that there is hope yet.
