Customer Reviews of The Speeches of Winston Churchill
great movie This is a great video to buy if you are a fan of Winston Churchill, it has all the great speeches and is really well put together.
NOT
The speeches of Winston Churchill did NOT contain the speeches of Winston Churchill: it contained only sparse fragments of speeches with much trite military footage. The snippets covered a lifetime of speeches (including late WWII and as an elder statesman) in only 30 minutes. Anyone with serious interest should not waste his time with this poorly edited tape.
Worthless!
Imagine the worst things you've seen on the History Channel and you've got this tape. No fewer than three speeches in this wretched exercise in un-history are actually made up of fragments of two or more speeches given at different times. We see almost nothing of Churchill the speaker, because the whole thing has been overlaid with footage of stuff blowing up, airplanes taking off and landing, and British troops looking brave (or German troops looking threatening) -- often with an added soundtrack of explosions, machine gun fire, etc, which make the already-problematic sound even harder to hear. (The problem is expectable with 50-60 year old sound film -- but why then fill the tape with roaring engines and rumbling explosions from the sound effects library, making it all the harder to hear Churchill?) The best thing on the tape is a butchered version of the 1946 Fulton College address ("an iron curtain has descended across the continent") with marginally better sound quality and no funny noises; the main interest is not in the recording (better ones are available) but in the fact that you can see just how uncomfortable the whole thing made Harry Truman, who was trying NOT to antagonize Stalin at the time. The minor giggle afforded by that, however, is in no way worth the price of the tape. This is a garbled mess in the audio and a collection of incoherent images in the video; you won't learn a thing about Churchill or his speaking style from it. -- J.Barnes, Asst Prof of Communication, Western State College of Colorado
