Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - bertie and elizabeth
So much has been left out of this romance when Edward caused a shocking disruption to the Yorks life.This film had to tell its story over a span of years, but the acting is so well done that the viewer can imagine some of the pain, anger and distress which the sudden elevation to the throne must have caused.
Unfortunately, the prince of Wales comes across as a shallow man and is not sympathetic to his brother who suffers from a stammer and lack of confidence.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Bertie and Elizabeth: an overview
Having a thorough knowledge of the events surrounding the life of George VI of England is something of a liability when viewing Bertie and Elizabeth.

But God forbade it saying, "Man looketh on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart." This went on several times until finally the King was chosen-David.

The story of George VI has always reminded me of this story. King George was a shy, almost hobbit-like man who looked like he would have been happier as an accountant then a King. And yet ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bertie and Elizabeth
I have so many DVDs about the Royal Family and this is one of the very best! There have been many movies, miniseries, etc that concentrate on the story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - this DVD looks at the story from a different perspective.
