The King's Speech (2010 Tom Hooper)

Writer David Seidler.

I only just twigged that Derek Jacobi of course was a famous stutterer in I Claudius

Noticed that before Firth's first attempt at a speech, a horse whinnies; then before his last, in the Palace, a corgi barks.

Loved that Loge and the King remained friends. Firth and Geoffrey Rush are a match made in heaven. Loved the moment the Queen tries to stuff a sweet into the King's mouth to shut him up.
