This year marks the 30th anniversary of a film about the after-affects of the American Revolution, and how it effected a monarch. It is also ironic how this year, an election year, we have another tyrant struggling with similar issues in this area. All of these components made this film my primary pick for this Independence Day. Happy 4th everybody!

Good film.As good as Hawthorne was in it he was even better in Yes,Minister/Yes,Prime Minister.

Haven’t seen the movie but thoroughly enjoyed reading this post and the parallels to our current political kerfluffle. To paraphrase a scripture from Ecclesiastical reference, there’s nothing new under the globally warmed/cooled sun. So much for Kam La La’s esoteric pibble about ‘what can be, has been unchained from the past’. Truly history repeats itself with slight alterations and modifications.

I considered that one of the best movies I’ve ever seen- phenomenal acting and absolutely riveting.

It seems that I read about this episode in King George's life some three weeks ago or so.
The evidence seems to be that someone was poisoning him with Arsenic.
That's what I recall reading anyways.
And I saw the movie years ago and I thought it was good.
