The Valiant Years was an incredible TV series on WSC which aired over a number of weeks on ABC in 1962. I have not seen or heard of it since but it would be very worthwhile to locate as it gave an in-depth view of Churchill during the years leading up to and including WWII. Richard Burton spoke WSC's words to great effect and the show was well produced using excellent film footage of WSC and actual events. ----- Original Message ----- From: Antoine Capet<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 2:11 PM Subject: [ChurchillChat] Jack Le Vien and Churchill
Looking for something else on the Churchill Archives Centre website, I chanced upon the notice on Jack Le Vien : http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0014%2FLEVN<http://janus.lib.cam.ac.uk/db/node.xsp?id=EAD%2FGBR%2F0014%2FLEVN> I was intrigued by the list of films / TV dramas and books which he produced / wrote (I only knew of "A King's Story", in fact) ; Le Vien's films include: "The Black Fox" (1962); "The Finest Hours" (1964); "A King's Story" (1965); "The Other World of Winston Churchill" (1966); "Walk with Destiny" [also called "The Gathering Storm"] (1974); and "Churchill and the Generals" (1979). His publications include books based on three of his productions: "The Valiant Years" (1962); "The Finest Hours" (1964); and "Churchill and the Generals" (1981). None seem to be available on DVD - or am I wrong ? And are they worth looking for anyway ? Surely at least some List Members must have seen / read these films and books. Thank you all in advance for any enlightenment, A. Capet -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
