Episode 075 - Darkest Hour (2017)
Jun 4, 2020
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.
In the latest episode, Scott is joined by Tony to chat about Prime Ministers, political upheaval and poetic license in film making.
Join us for the most recent movie release we have reviewed so far on the show as we take a look at Darkest Hour (2017) featuring an Oscar winning performance from Gary Oldman.
During World War II, as Adolf Hitler's powerful Wehrmacht rampages across Europe, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Neville Chamberlain (Ronald Pickup), is forced to resign, recommending Sir Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) as his replacement. But even in his early days as the country's leader, Churchill is under pressure to commence peace negotiations with Hitler or to fight head-on the seemingly invincible Nazi regime, whatever the cost. However difficult and dangerous his decision may be, Churchill has no choice but to shine in the country's darkest hour.
“Will you stop interrupting me while I am interrupting you!”
