Then There Were Giants AKA World War II: When Lions Roared

Bob Haskins as Winston Churchill
Michael Caine as Josef Stalin
John Lithgow as Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Ed Begley Jr as FDR's assistant Harry Hopkins

I saw this many years ago on HBO or Showtime only once and have been searching for it ever since. I loved the editing and cut sequences as they really keep the story moving with little down time. Eliminates lots of wasted time trying set up scenes as they follow the timeline. Starts off in 1941 as the Germans invade Russia. You can see the desperate and frustrated attitude of Stalin eventually change as he begins to get the upper hand
