Goldcrest’s Involvement
The incredible true story set during the summer months of 1953 when Sir Winston Churchill (then Prime Minister for the second time) suffered a life-threatening stroke, which with the help of his family & closest aides was kept a secret from the world.
As his children arrive to watch over him, they feud over son Randolph's drinking and daughter Sarah's less-than-illustrious movie career, while Winston's wife Clemmie reflects on the loss of another daughter who died in infancy. The Cabinet is informed of events as Moran brings in plain-spoken Yorkshire nurse Millie Appleyard to look after the great man.
