“I more than enjoyed it. I loved it. It reveals a genuinely fascinating relationship and shows how under certain circumstances film can be a very powerful medium - and that the right people, with the right motives, can achieve very great things”
Lord Puttnam
Former CEO, Columbia Pictures
Oscar-winning producer, Chariots of Fire
“Churchill and the Movie Mogul is a spellbinding story that happens to be true. It’s no secret that Winston Churchill had a great sense of drama. This film illustrates how he used movies to his benefit - and ultimately the benefit of his country - while solidifying a relationship with England’s greatest film producer, Alexander Korda”.
Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian
“There are very many films as well as books about Churchill, but very few of them have anything new to tell us.
John Fleet’s 'Churchill and the Movie Mogul' is a shining exception, one of the most fascinating and revealing things on the subject in many years”
Geoffrey Wheatcroft
The Guardian
Former Editor of The Spectator
“John Fleet’s documentary illuminates one of the most important alliances of the war - between Britain’s wartime Prime Minister and a giant of the movie business. Churchill and the Movie Mogul is EXTREMELY insightful and full of intrigue”
Matthew Sweet, Film Critic
Presenter, Sound of Cinema
