Product Description Product DescriptionKINGS SPEECHTHE Candidates for president and prime minister choose to run, but kings rarely have a choice. Such was the case for Prince Albert, known by family members as Bertie , whose stutter made public speaking difficult. Upon the death of his father, George V , the crown went to Bertie's brother, Edward VIII , who abdicated to marry divorc?e Wallis Simpson. All the while, Bertie and his wife, Elizabeth , try to find a solution to his stammer. Nothing works until they meet Australian ?migr? Lionel Logue , a failed actor operating out of a threadbare office. He believes Bertie's problem stems from emotional rather than physiological issues, leading to a clash of wills that allows the Oscar?-winning Rush and the Oscar-nominated Firth to do some of their best work . All their efforts, from the tense to the comic--Bertie doesn't stutter when he swears--lead to the speech King George VI must make to the British public on the eve of World War II. At a time when his country needs him the most, he can't afford to fail. As Stephen Frears did in The Queen, Tom Hooper lends vulnerability to a royal figure, showing how isolating that life can be--and how much difference a no-nonsense friend like Logue can make. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
