    Plot Outline:

    The story of King George VI of Britain, his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.


    Plot: 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 stutter 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.

    Movie Quotes:

    Lionel Logue: What was your earliest memory?
    King George VI: I'm not… -here to discuss… -personal matters.
    Lionel Logue: Why are you here then?
    King George VI: Because I bloody well stammer!



    Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • 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 (2010) was assigned a 15 certificate solely for 19 occurrences of the word "fuck" in casual speech.
    • Michael Gambon had previously portrayed King Edward VII in the British miniseries, The Lost Prince (2003).
