Watching the new season of "The Crown" on Netflix? Then you might like to try this film that zeros in on one aspect of the succession crisis that rocked England in the early 20th century. King Edward VIII suddenly and unexpectedly abdicates the throne to marry an American divorcee. His younger brother, Prince Albert, is to succeed him, but has a speech impediment. How will he rally the nation if his broadcast speeches are peppered with stammers? Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter shine as the King and Queen who tackle the problem with the help of an Australian speech therapist. Not to be missed if you are a fan of the royals. Or even if you're a anti-monacharist. See it.
