Not really an R--bring kids!

Outstanding piece of history with human touch. Makes you laugh and cry as you see Queen Elizabeth's Dad (Bertie) suddenly forced by his brother's abdication to become King George VI during the Age of Radio--when poor Bertie has a terrible stammer! An Australian speech therapist (Lionel) becomes one of Bertie's few friends and gets at the real causes of the problem. You watch the King overcome his own fears so a nation (and world) can overcome the fear of Nazi terror and take courageous action. Magnificent! The 'R' is for a very funny scene where Lionel gets Bertie to swear a blue streak as a technique to get the rest of his language to flow. But the movie is really about excellent values--courage, love, country, family, the ups and downs of friendship without resorting to violence. A must for all ages above 8.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
