The King’s Speech won the Oscar for the best movie and I recently had a bit of spare time and a chance to see it. It immediately made me think of Frost/Nixon because it is very much a two-man type of movie, with a tremendous interplay between the two lead characters.

It was superbly acted, well scripted and very enjoyable as well as informative, to realise that the current Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth, had a father who had a terrible stammer and could hardly speak and was a tremendously brave man who had lots of training and managed to overcome the problem. The movie is essentially about his overcoming that problem and his relationship with the man who taught him a variety of techniques to get over that stammer.
