Thank you for signing up for the ten-part audio series Churchill's Other Lives by Sir David Cannadine.

Episode 6 - Cinema

Churchill was a film fanatic and had an active interest in the movie business. He became friends with Charlie Chaplin and collaborated as a screenwriter in the 1930s with the great Hungarian-born director Alexander Korda. A scene set in the trenches of World War One from Churchill's screenplay - never made into a film - is dramatized here for the first time. David Cannadine explores Winston Churchill's love affair with the movies and Churchill's growing awareness of the propaganda power of the moving image.
