Simon Ward was second choice for Sir Winston Churchill after Malcolm McDowell repeatedly declined the role.
Robert Hardy (The Headmaster) portrayed Sir Winston Churchill in five television series and plays: Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years (1981), The Woman He Loved (1988), War and Remembrance (1988), Bomber Harris (1989), and Dame Agatha Christie's Marple (2004) season two, episode four, "The Sittaford Mystery".
Although Anne Bancroft (Lady Jennie Churchill) played the mother of Simon Ward (Winston Churchill), she was only ten years older than him.
Simon Ward was a predominantly unknown actor when he was cast as the central character of Sir Winston Churchill in this movie. Richard Attenborough threatened to quit the film if producer Carl Foreman (who didn't want Ward) didn't agree to his casting.
Three actors portrayed Sir Winston Churchill: Russell Lewis at the age of seven, Michael Audreson at the age of thirteen, and Simon Ward as a young man. However, Audreson was dubbed by Ward in all of his scenes.
"Winston Churchill: The joke of it all is that I never really wanted to be a soldier. No. Politics - Parliament - that's my arena! But, how am I to get there? I have no reputation. No family in the government. And worst of all, no money!"
"Winston Churchill: I'm free! I'm free! I'm Winston Bloody Churchill and I'm free!"
