In The King’s Speech , a scandal within the royal family has propelled Prince Albert to the throne in the tumultuous days leading up to World War II. A debilitating speech impediment has crippled the Prince since childhood– and now his country is counting on him to lead in this new world of the “wireless” (national radio). This thoughtful movie, based on the true story of England’s King George VI, showcases Colin Firth (Oscar winner, Best Actor) as King George in what can only be described as a triumph of a lifetime.
