THE GATHERING STORM
A production by the revered Hallmark Hall of Fame, based upon Sir WInston Churchill's book. It recounts the years during which Hitler rose to power and how Churchill warned in vain of his rise until finally Churchill had to lead his nation in war against him. Fine performances, quotes, oratory and history throughout, with support by costar Virginia McKenna as Churchill's wife Clemmie and a cast of UK luminaries such as Patrick Stewart as Clement Atlee, Ian Bannen as Adolf Hitler and Robin Bailey as Neville Chamberlain.

The Gathering Storm is a 1974 British/American television biopic film, about Winston Churchill's life in the years just prior to, and at the start of, World War II, from 1936 to 1940. It was a joint production of the BBC and NBC, made in 1974 in the Hallmark Hall of Fame; it starred Richard Burton as Churchill and Virginia McKenna as Clementine Churchill. Robin Bailey portrays Neville Chamberlain. The supporting cast includes Ian Bannen as Adolf Hitler, Ian Ogilvy as King Edward VIII, Thorley Walters as Stanley Baldwin and Patrick Stewart as Clement Attlee. The film has the same title as the first volume of Churchill's largely autobiographical six-volume history THE SECOND WORLD WAR. This volume covers the period from 1919 to May 10, 1940, the day he became prime minister. The film was broadcast on United Kingdom television under the title Walk with Destiny. Although another film about Churchill, made in 2002, was also called The Gathering Storm, it bears little resemblance to the 1974 film.
