Sir Michael Caine has starred in some epic World War 2 films over the years, from The Eagle Has Landed to Escape to Victory.
But did you know the great actor once starred as Joseph Stalin in a TV movie miniseries about the Big Three?
Released in 1994, Caine acted opposite Bob Hoskins as Sir Winston Churchill and John Lithgow as President Franklin D Roosevelt in a drama spanning the Second World War.
World War II: When Lions Roared was a two-part 3 hour miniseries produced for NBC.
Notably, it was also the first video production to be produced in HD for broadcast in the US.
Nominated for 6 Emmy Awards, including Best Actor for Caine’s portrayal of Stalin, this hidden gem World War classic received critical acclaim upon its release. The miniseries was also edited into a 2 hour film for UK home release with the alternate title of Then There Were Giants. But the full 3 hour two-parter is now streaming for free with ads on freevee, which is hosted by Amazon Prime Video.
