Churchill: The Hollywood Years is a 2004 film, directed by Peter Richardson. It stars Christian Slater as Winston Churchill, and Neve Campbell as Elizabeth II. Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson and Anthony Sher also star.
The film is a satire on the Hollywood take on history, such as U-571 (portraying the capture of an Enigma machine as being by the Americans rather than the British) and Pearl Harbour (where - some British critics felt - American participation in the Battle of Britain was exaggerated).
'Winston Churchill (qv)' receives his first ever "actor" credit in this film, playing the part of Roy Bubbles. However, the role was played unwittingly, as the film uses archive footage of Winston in public to fit the part.
Churchill's line to Adolf Hitler, "What's it all about, Alfie?" is a reference to the theme song to Alfie (1966).
