The King's Great Speech

- This item is used Description It was never meant for him to be king, but when England's King George V (Michael Gambon) dies and after the scandalous abdication from the throne of King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), the quiet Bertie (Colin Firth) is suddenly crowned king in 1936. He suffers from a speech impediment that makes it difficult for him to present himself as the strong leader the country needs as England goes to war with Germany. The king meets the eccentric speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), and after a difficult start the two begin to bond and, through unconventional but effective methods, develop the king's speech and oratory gifts.
