Churchill: The Hollywood Years

2004 · 84 min

A silly, fast-moving spoof that turns WWII into a cartoonish Hollywood romp full of broad gags and cheeky historical rewrites.

Directed by: Peter Richardson
Genres: Comedy, War
Starring: Christian Slater, Neve Campbell, Harry Enfield

Overview: A group of American executives making a film about World War II decide that since their lead is rather unglamorous, they will draft in an American G.I. to play the part of Winston Churchill. Their take on the war depicts a handsome Churchill falling in love with Princess Elizabeth, who is herself involved in the war as an undercover agent.
