Comments on: “The Pool of England”: How Henry V Inspired Churchill’s Words http://localhost:8080/shakespeares-henry-v Senior Fellow, Hillsdale College Churchill Project, Writer and Historian Tue, 22 Jun 2021 21:54:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Andrew Greenwood http://localhost:8080/shakespeares-henry-v#comment-44875 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 19:51:48 +0000 https://richardlangworth.com/?p=8157#comment-44875 I’ve just been watching Branagh and Olivier’s renditions of Shakespeare’s Henry V speeches, trying to rouse myself for England’s Euro 2021 games! ;) In doing doing so, I was picking out similarities aplenty with Churchill’s greatest war speeches. When browsing the web for reports of the same, I should have known it would lead me straight back to you!

I have always loved the Laurence Oliver version of Henry V. I grew up hearing stories about it and finally saw it with my father in the 1970’s at the Little Carnegie Movie Theater in NYC. My father first saw the film in Manila in 1945 (but not before arranging for a showing for General MacArthur).
