Wartime Heroes: Churchill, De Gaulle, Meet In Paris, Sir Winston Churchill and General Charles Degaulle meet for the first time in 14 years, as Degaulle confers France's most exclusive honor, the order of the liberation, on Sir Winston. A stirring reunion between two great leaders and allies whose differences were many and bitter, but are now mellowed by the passage of the years. The two leaders shake hands. Churchill inspects troops. De Gaulle pins something on Churchill, the two men kiss cheeks. Guards in shiny helmets with swords. The leaders' wives (? - Mrs. Churchill and Mme. DeGaulle ?).
