The King's Speech ~ Movie Guide + Quiz + Word Search + Crossword Puzzle

“To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that

see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it."

Queen Elizabeth I (English monarch ~ 1533 - 1603)

This film The King's Speech starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush is a biographical film about Bertie, the second son of King George V, who became an unexpected king upon the abdication of his older brother.

We see how he copes not only with a speech disorder - stuttering - but also with the weight of the responsibilities that come with wearing the crown.
