Varför är Churchills familj bärgasmaskar?

Det är ojämnt men det skulle visas att de bara försökte överraska Churchill med en ovanlig syn .... och de använde vad de var tvungna att lämna.

Avlägsnandet av gasmaskerna var i manuset men verkar inte ha gjort det till filmens sista klipp tillsammans med Churchills reaktion.

 CLEMMIE and the CHURCHILL CHILDREN wear GAS-MASKS as they shout -

              CHURCHILL CHILDREN
                    HURRAY!
              RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
                    Hip Hip -
              CHURCHILL CHILDREN
                    HURRAY!

 WINSTON enters - and stops, aghast, and stares at his family -

                     WINSTON
          Good lord, what a frightful sight!

CLEMMIE, SARAH CHURCHILL (26), DIANA CHURCHILL(31), RANDOLPH
CHURCHILL (29) and his WIFE PAMELA (pregnant), and MARY
CHURCHILL (18) all pull off their GAS MASKS, grab their
glasses of CHAMPAGNE, then converge on him and kiss him.

He stares at them, a SMILE FORMING AT LAST, deeply touched,
actually. He is presented with a glass of champagne.

                       CHURCHILL
                 Thank you. Thank you.

Gasmasker (38 miljoner av dem) utfärdades till den brittiska befolkningen 1939.

With 1939 and the outbreak of war, masks were issued to the public in cardboard boxes with strict instructions that they be carried at all times, without exception. Fines would be imposed if you were caught without your respirator. As such, many people replaced their cardboard boxes in time with privately available alternatives, as the government-issue cardboard boxes were prone to falling apart and were cumbersome.
