In INTO THE STORM, the HBO Films/BBC coproduction biography of the life of Winston Churchill, Brendan ("Mad-Eye Moody") Gleeson plays Churchill as a scowling, grumbling, tenaciously stubborn bulldog of a leader. STORM was intended as a sequel to an earlier film called THE GATHERING STORM, which starred Albert Finney as Churchill and covered the years encompassing his political rise to power. This second STORM covers the period of time beginning with Churchill's assumption of the mantle of Prime Minister after the resignation of Neville Chamberlain, and running through the end of the war, the Yalta conference, and Churchill's Conservative Party's own defeat at the hands of Labour and the disintegration of his wartime coalition government. These stubborn personal qualities of Churchill the man were, director Thaddeus O'Sullivan argues, precisely the sorts of qualities which were needed by the British populace during the darkest period of WWII, when London was being pounded nightly by the German Luftwaffe and the British Army barely scrambled to get out of being massacred at Dunkirk with most of its troops intact; the British people needed a leader who was capable of stirring them to great inspired heights through the power of his uncompromising gift of oratory, and who could also put the full-court diplomatic press on the Americans to enter the war in the European theater, and provide much-needed ground and air support to the beleagured British forces. Churchill's loyal but substantially more genteel wife, Clementine (Janet McTeer), repeatedly says during this film that war, and specifically the process of being a wartime leader, was 'what [Churchill] was born for', and, by blustering and raging his way doggedly through one scene after another, Gleeson puts the exclamation point on that proclamation.
