Storyline
Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George ('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war. Written by Anonymous

Trivia
The film was originally rated 15 by the BBFC, for 17 occurrences of the word "fuck", but on appeal this was reduced to 12A, with the information "Contains strong language in a speech therapy context". This extended the controversy started a few weeks earlier when Made in Dagenham was assigned a 15 certificate solely for 19 occurrences of the word "fuck" in casual speech. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were not addressed as such whilst at home in the company of their parents. They were known as Lilibet and Margo, respectively. See more »Quotes
