Not the whole film, unfortunately - Then There Were Giants review by JB
This is a great film with excellent performances by Bob Hoskins (Churchill), Michael Caine (Stalin) and John Lithgow (Roosevelt). It is taken from the TV series 'When Lions Roared'. The problem is that this DVD is only part of the TV series, and cuts out over an hour (the last hour!) of the story. It thus ends very abruptly. I think 'When Lions Roared' has been issued as a 2-disc set but this is not it, and CP do not appear to have it.
So it's a very unsatisfactory film to watch.
