Absolutely loved this movie, and thought it was one of the best movies I’d seen in a long time and in my mind, Best Picture of the Year, although I will agree that I did also think The Social Network was quite good. They were all outstanding performances and what awesome clothes Helena Bonham Carter gets to wear! Came home and read an old book that I have about the abdication, “The Woman He Loved” which has lots of photos of the royal family before and after the abdication , including where they sent the Duke and Duchess of Windsor during the war and his attempts to remain part of the gov’t in some way and how he never really forgave the royal family for how they treated Wallis, before settling in to a society life. It does reference the king’s stammering issue.
