Movie Haiku:Bertie''''s stuttering problem becomes a national crisis when his older brother abdicates on the cusp of WWII & he becomes King of England. Thankfully a failed Australian actor is on hand to save the day. Masterpiece Theatre to the max, but Rich was still moved by A+ acting & technical back-up. Jan was fascinated by the BBC scenes--worldwide radio in its infancy.
