The Madness of King George
1994
***
Director: Nicholas Hytner
Cast: Nigel Hawthorne, Helen Mirren, Rupert Everett, Ian Holm, John Wood
King George seems to be going insane, which tempts his son to exploit the circumstances and overtake the throne. This slow-paced but interesting drama is based on the actual events and it is adapted from a stage play by Alan Bennett. Nigel Hawthorne is enjoyable in the lead.
