| Now that you have seen the movie and the casting of greats to be and character actors, who would you put in there instead of Coward?
Coward wrote, starred in, composed the music for and co-directed with David Lean. The film was immensely popular on both sides of the Atlantic.
Churchill suggested he do a movie on Mountbatten, so he wrote this. He "was as camp as a row of tents" yet history reveals he was a MI5 operative and would have been on Hitlers death list.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
