Goofs

Factual errors: Though shown at Potsdam, Churchill was not there even, having been replaced by Clement Atlee as British Prime Minister. Later meetings are shown in the film with the character Churchill and referring to that meeting. This is an error. Also, as Churchill was heard talking to President Truman about an "Iron Curtain," this was never mentioned publically until his "Iron Curtain Speech", March 5, 1946; Winston Churchill at Westminster College, in Fulton, Missouri.
