The film Churchill and his men and wife watch is "That Hamilton Woman", a 1941 movie narrating the affair between admiral Horatio Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton. In real life, Churchill was a great admirer of Nelson and, reportedly, he actually ghost penned the script (meaning that he wrote the script without accepting any credit for it). He also claimed several times that this was his favorite movie of all times.
The character who was awarded the Victoria Cross was based on Flight Lieutenant Eric James Brindley Nicolson of fighter squadron 249. The citation reads:"During an engagement with the enemy near Southampton on 16th August 1940, Flight Lieutenant Nicolson's aircraft was hit by four cannon shells, two of which wounded him whilst another set fire to the gravity tank. When about to abandon his aircraft owing to flames in the cockpit he sighted an enemy fighter. This he attacked and shot down, although as a result of staying in his burning aircraft he sustained serious burns to his hands, face, neck and legs. Flight Lieutenant Nicolson has always displayed great enthusiasm for air fighting and this incident shows that he possesses courage and determination of a high order. By continuing to engage the enemy after he had been wounded and his aircraft set on fire, he displayed exceptional gallantry and disregard for the safety of his own life."The above-mentioned action was the first time that Nicolson had ever engaged the enemy.In 1942 he was posted to India and promoted to Wing Commander and Squadron Commander of a group of twin-engine Bristol Beaufighters (a robust multiple-mission attack aircraft), where he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In May of 1945, at the age of 28, while flying as an observer in a B-24 Liberator, the plane caught fire and the crew was lost in the Bay of Bengal.
US President Roosevelt's middle initial was D for Delano. The cast list has it as a J.
Churchill discusses the bombardment of the French navy in Oran. This is located in Algeria. Film buffs will note that Oran figured into the backstory of Casablanca (1942). Most of the refugees in the film escaped from occupied Europe by crossing the Mediterranean to the port of Oran and then took the train across the Sahara to Casablanca, Morocco.
Brendan Gleeson has worked with five other actors who have all played Winston Churchill. He appeared in Braveheart (1995) and Troy (2004) with Brian Cox, and in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) with Robert Hardy, Timothy Spall, Michael Gambon, and Gary Oldman.
"Winston Churchill: We are told that Herr Hitler has a plan for invading the British Isles. This has often been thought of before. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home to outlive the menace of tyranny if necessary for years, if necessary alone."
"Winston Churchill: We'll have lunch and a drink. I'm sure you could do with a drink, Major-General. Major General Bernard Montgomery: I neither drink nor smoke, and am 100% fit. Winston Churchill: Well I both drink and smoke, and I'm 200% fit."
