Tweed orgy

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2011)

The British are of course totally unbeatable, when it comes to this kind of movies. Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth don't destroy the tradition. Totally clever, including large amounts of very dry humor.
King George VI was a stammer. Historic facts say he got over it already in the late 20s, but that wouldn't have been such a good story. This is about the abdication crisis and his brother, the king's, urge to marry this twice divorced Mrs. Simpson. The king does and then comes the war and George has to give a radio speech. Nobody can help him except for this obscure Australian with no merits.
A movie totally out this world, even if it's 75 years ago. True dry entertainment.
