A clear understanding of how it all came about and a detailed analysis of strategy, personalities, culture, etc. Perfect script. Absolutely superb. The well chosen cast, so familiar to all, truly transformed themselves into the characters they portrayed. I had never before seen this film but I've rerun it all night. Fascinating. Thank you.

An incredible production. The Split Screen conversations are a novel approach to what must be the mail/telegraph communications between these three men. And the scenes shot against the back-projection of black and white documentary footage. Excellently portrayed by Hoskins, Lithgow and Caine - three of the movie 'Greats'. Thanks BabyBoom, for preventing me from going to bed! ))

[@robertschmidt7879]

I concur and would like to associate myself with your assessment as to the effectiveness of the split-screen conversations as a vehicle to getting stale written communications on to the screen. It sounds relatively easy to do, but if it had not been done as effectively it would’ve been almost as dull is reading the initial missives in the first place. Mind you I would never find reading these messages dull! :-) But this is a good way of getting casual studiers of history into the minds of these three men

[@Digmen1]

I have Churchills books on the Second World War, and he was always sending telegrams to Roosevelt and Stalin, so that was why they did they split screen thing. I thought it was very will done. Just saw it for the first time today!

[@andrewnlarsen]

Completely agree on the effective use of the split screens. Really well done and allows the events to be portrayed in "real time" and to show the three leaders coordinating their efforts during the war.

[@DennisCambly]

The main point in this series is to watch how the relationship of the characters develops. How Churchill did in fact do everything possible to push the D-Day landing off the table. On the other hand FDR saw a great opportunity to put America in a position to rise up by leading the western European war while Stalin (Russia) won the eastern European war against Hitler. As we know the British Empire fell and the American one rose. With the dealth of FDR the Cold War began under Truman. The script and actors are dynamic.

[@DennisCambly]

@teslagod2003 good points. And the Brits kicked Churchill out of office. Now the world had only Stalin and China who was there during the entire war. China and Japan had been at war since 1934

[@rodneysmith9177]

@teslagod2003 Yeah. It was all Truman's fault that Stalin turned eastern Europe into a bunch of puppet states while Truman allowed Japan and Western Europe to return to autonomy. The USSR was every bit as responsible for starting WWII as the Germans. They were essentially allies. Stalin was an idiot for expecting Hitler to honor the non-agression pact and was again an idiot again when he refused to recognize what the rest of the world knew all the time. Hitler was going to betray him. To expect we could have had a world wide group hug with him once our interests diverged is a fantasy. Stalin was a paranoid monster that was every bit the mass murderer Hitlers was. The only difference is he was OUR mass murderer. As they say, nations don't have friends, they have interests. And take a class in grammar and when to use capital letters.

What this and most WW2 productions leave out is that Stalin feared greatly that Japan would attack the Soviet Union as Germany did, thus creating a 2-front nightmare for the Russians. Stalin held most of his Siberia troops in place for this possibility, until 1942, especially in the battle of Stalingrad. There is no mention of the incredible victory of Midway in this piece, which took the pressure off of Stalin’s fear of an attack from Japan.

[@TheSirbuffalot]

That ain't quite right. Ever heard about Richard Sorge, German communist, who spied on the Nazi ambassador in Tokyo ? You should read up on him.

@@anthonytamilio9501 Since you liked this type of approach in film, if you've never seen Jean Renoir's ' La Grande Illusion', released in 1937 after WWI, give it a viewing. You will have to watch it with subtitles, it's in French. French director Jean Renoir was the son of artist Pierre Auguste Renoir, fought at the WWI front and just barely avoided having a leg amputated. I've always felt his film is like a visual haiku - if you've seen Akira Kurosawa's Japanese films 'Ran' or 'Dersu Usala', you will see the same use of a spacious silence in Grande Illusion. Not what people go for these days, unfortunately, and a very difficult thing to bring off successfully. The director of 'Dunkirk' brought off much of the same quality.

[@jaein7779]

33:03 - It amazes me how much Russia has forgotten the amount of material aid both America and Great Britain gave to Russia during WW2. In all of their propaganda about the Great Patriotic War, I never once heard even a reference to this aid. Is it no wonder that their descendants forgot the logistical support the West offered them and how important a part it played in their defense of Russia against Germany and how it aided their advances toward Germany in WW2. Just incredible blindness.

[@controlleddemolition9112]

I think you overestimate how much aid the US provided the USSR. Total US Lend Lease expenditures in WW2 were about $50 Billion. Of that, about $40 Billion went to the UK and $11 Billion went to the USSR. That was less than 5% of Soviet military expenditures and an even smaller fraction of total Soviet expenses in the war. Lend Lease might have been important in 1941, but it certainly had almost nothing to do with the advance on Berlin in 1945. By then, the only remnants of Lend Lease were cans of spam. What amazes me is how I was led to believe, as a child, that the US came in and "won WW2". The US did win the Pacific War, but the Red Army defeated 80% of the Wehrmacht. They lost 30 million people, and most of the cities in the Western USSR lay in ruins. If you were a male born in 1920 in Western USSR, there was an 80% chance you were going to be killed in WW2. The US lost a few hundred thousand men, and yet you seem to think the Russians owe the US their undying gratitude.
